Ganduje stressed the APC’s commitment to delivering significant electoral victories, especially in key states like Oyo and Osun, in a bid to bolster support for President Bola Tinubu. “In this geopolitical zone, we must deliver 100 percent in favour of APC. Therefore, Ondo State, you must be at the forefront; the two other states – Oyo and Osun – we will capture them, but I will not reveal our secret. We are strategizing. Everything must be 100 percent behind President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Ganduje confidently declared.

While his remarks were aimed at rallying party supporters, they sparked outrage across social media platforms, with many Nigerians accusing the APC of plotting to rig the upcoming elections. Criticism quickly followed, with some pointing out the current economic hardships under the APC-led government, which has left many skeptical about the party’s ability to win votes genuinely.

Ganduje’s confidence in the APC’s success, particularly in Ondo state, was also evident in his endorsement of the incumbent Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the appointment of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the Chairman of the National Campaign Council. He called on party members to engage in grassroots mobilization, stating, “This election is a task that must be done… we are expecting 90 percent votes in the forthcoming governorship election.”

However, the public was quick to respond to his “secret strategy” comment, with many alleging that the only way the APC could achieve victory is through rigging. A wave of reactions flooded social media, where users expressed their frustration with Ganduje’s statement:

• “Your secret is open—RIGGING! Shameless old thief!”
• “Says an uncircumcised Gorilla… Mtcheeew.”
• “What is your secret other than to rig the elections? How can the majority vote for APC with the current situation in the country?”
• “What other secrets can alleged corrupt politicians in different sensitive offices of a corrupt political party have to continue in power if not elections full of corrupt practices?”

The backlash underscores the growing disillusionment with the APC and its leadership, as Nigerians continue to grapple with economic challenges, insecurity, and dwindling public trust in the political process. Many citizens remain skeptical about the integrity of future elections, given the party’s controversial past and the boldness of Ganduje’s recent statements.
