NNPP warns Ganduje against inciting chaos in Southwest
The Osun State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has issued a strict warning to the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Umar Ganduje, against turning the Southwest into a war zone with his recent comments.
Recall that Ganduje, during a visit to Akure, Ondo State, on Sunday after INEC declared Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa the winner of the governorship election, expressed confidence that APC would also win Oyo and Osun states in future elections.
Daily Post reports that a statement by the Osun chairman of NNPP, Tosin Odeyemi, on Monday in Osogbo slammed Ganduje’s remarks, describing them as reckless and unbecoming of an elder statesman, especially given the current economic hardships Nigerians are enduring under the APC-led government.
“One would have expected Dr. Ganduje to demonstrate better communication skills befitting his position. With the economic challenges Nigerians are facing, who would willingly vote for the APC? Ganduje should not be carried away by what transpired in Ondo State.
“Osun people are wise and peace-loving. Each party must allow voters to decide freely. Ganduje must not turn the Southwest into a war zone. Spoken words carry weight, and 2026 must be crisis-free in Osun,” he said.
He further challenged Ganduje to prove APC’s popularity by contesting in his own state, where NNPP had previously defeated the party by a significant margin.
