Ondo Governor Aiyedatiwa Urges APC Unity for 2027 Elections

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State cautioned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) could face challenges in winning the 2027 elections if its members do not maintain unity. Speaking during the inauguration of the Ondo State APC Presidential Election Campaign Council on Saturday at the International Culture and Event Centre in Akure, Aiyedatiwa highlighted that the party's size and ruling status would not ensure victory without cooperation among leaders and supporters.

He urged members to set aside differences to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election. Aiyedatiwa referenced the internal divisions that have affected the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and stressed the need for unity that initially brought the APC to power in 2015.

He noted that retaining power is crucial for meeting community needs. Ondo State Deputy Governor Olayide Adelami called for grassroots campaigns to secure one million votes for Tinubu, while Speaker Olamide Oladiji urged members to work towards a convincing victory.
