(DDM) – Florence Ajimobi, ambassador-designate and widow of former Oyo State governor Abiola Ajimobi, has issued a fiery political declaration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that Ajimobi made the remarks in a viral video currently circulating on social media platforms.
The statement was delivered while she addressed journalists and party supporters at a political gathering linked to the All Progressives Congress.
Ajimobi openly declared that the APC was preparing for an intense political battle to dislodge the Peoples Democratic Party from power.
She described the 2027 elections as a “war,” signalling that her party was unwilling to concede any political ground.
The prominent APC chieftain stated that the contest in Oyo State would be fiercely fought at both state and federal levels.
She expressed confidence that the ruling party at the centre had the capacity to overwhelm the opposition.
Ajimobi argued that political power in Oyo State must change hands to align with federal authority.
She maintained that the APC enjoys strategic advantages beyond grassroots mobilization.
According to her, the party has strong institutional and financial backing at the federal level.
She insisted that such backing would neutralize whatever advantage the PDP currently enjoys within the state.
Ajimobi dismissed any intimidation tactics that might be deployed by the opposition ahead of the elections.
She told supporters that APC members must prepare mentally and politically for confrontation.
In her words, she framed the election as a direct and unavoidable clash between both parties.
She openly acknowledged that the PDP controls substantial financial resources within Oyo State.
However, she countered that APC’s access to federal resources outweighs state-level advantages.
Ajimobi emphasized that political dominance at the centre gives the APC leverage.
She said the party was fully prepared to match the PDP move for move.
She further assured party loyalists that APC would not retreat under pressure.
Ajimobi invoked divine authority while simultaneously stressing political aggression.
She stated that although all power ultimately belongs to God, political struggle remains inevitable.
Her comments blended religious language with militant political rhetoric.
She declared that the APC would seek divine support while actively confronting the PDP.
