Ayo Akinyelure Denies Political Alliance with Aiyedatiwa
Ayo Akinyelure, the senatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Ondo Central District, clarified on Wednesday in Akure that there is no political pact between him and Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. Akinyelure stated that his departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC) was due to the party's refusal to grant him a ticket for the 2027 senatorial election.
He emphasized that his recent meeting with Aiyedatiwa was not a political negotiation and that the governor had been straightforward in informing him that the APC had already chosen its preferred candidate for the senatorial ticket. Akinyelure expressed appreciation for Aiyedatiwa's honesty, stating that he was left with the choice of either abandoning his political ambitions or seeking another platform, which led him to join the ADC.
He underscored the importance of political relevance for serving his constituents and contrasted his current situation with his previous experience in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
