Member of the House of Representatives representing Abeokuta South Federal Constituency, Hon. Afolabi Moruf Afuape, popularly known as AFOO, has described the massive turnout recorded during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary reaffirmation exercise in Abeokuta South as a strong indication of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s growing acceptance among party members and residents.
Hon. Afuape stated this while addressing journalists during the APC presidential primary exercise held at Itoko Oju-Agemo Ward 6 in Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The federal lawmaker, who recently secured the APC ticket for a second term in the House of Representatives, expressed appreciation to party faithful for what he described as overwhelming participation and grassroots mobilisation in support of President Tinubu.
“Let me first of all thank the people of Ward 6 for coming out en masse to vote for the hope of the country, our President, President Jagaban of the Federation,” Afuape said.
He noted that the turnout witnessed during the exercise reflected the confidence and acceptance President Tinubu enjoys among APC supporters across the state.
“You know that we started this exercise a few weeks ago. You would have seen this kind of turnout. This is showing the acceptability of our President,” he added.
The lawmaker also commended former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, for personally participating in the exercise, describing his involvement as symbolic and significant to the unity of the party.
“I want to appreciate the former governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, for taking part in this exercise for the very first time. It is also a good omen that our President is acceptable to all and sundry,” he stated.
Afuape further assured party leaders that Ward 6 and Abeokuta South would deliver impressive votes for President Tinubu during the 2027 general election, emphasizing that party members remain committed to sustaining APC’s dominance in the area.
“We will continue to put in our best and I am assuring everyone that this ward will turn out one of the highest votes in the general election for our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Jagaban of Nigeria,” he said.
Premier World News reports that the APC presidential primary exercise across Ogun State recorded peaceful participation in several wards, with party leaders intensifying grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Party members noted that Hon. Afuape’s continued visibility and influence within Abeokuta South further strengthen his reputation as one of the grassroots political mobilisers shaping the APC structure in Ogun Central Senatorial District.
