Ayo Akinyelure Rejects Political Pact with Governor Aiyedatiwa
Ayo Akinyelure, the former senator representing Ondo Central Senatorial District, denied entering any political agreement with Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa ahead of the 2027 general elections. During a media conference in Akure, Akinyelure clarified that his recent meeting with Aiyedatiwa was not for negotiating political support but to inquire about his future in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aiyedatiwa informed Akinyelure that the APC had already chosen its preferred candidate for the Ondo Central senatorial ticket, indicating that Akinyelure would not receive it. Akinyelure expressed gratitude for the governor's honesty.
Following this revelation, he decided to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to maintain political relevance. He emphasized that his movement to the ADC was not linked to any coalition against the APC.
Akinyelure also urged Aiyedatiwa to ensure that the votes of Ondo people count in future elections.
