Aiyedatiwa Urges APC to Unite for Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election Bid

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain united and committed as preparations intensify for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign.

Speaking at the APC’s quarterly stakeholders’ meeting in Ondo State, Aiyedatiwa emphasized that internal cohesion is critical to sustaining the party’s strength and ensuring victory at the polls. He warned that divisions arising from personal ambitions or clashing interests could weaken the APC, stressing that unity is more important than ever as political activities begin to gather momentum.

The governor highlighted that the quarterly stakeholders’ meeting was designed to foster dialogue, feedback, and cooperation among party members, while also serving as a platform to assess political and developmental progress across the state. He urged members to pursue their political aspirations responsibly, without undermining party leadership or fellow members, noting that internal conflicts often pose greater risks than opposition parties.

In his remarks, Aiyedatiwa pointed to achievements in governance, including increased investments in the health sector, renovation of medical facilities, and the deployment of standby ambulances across all local government areas. He also mentioned the Federal Government’s approval of the revalidation of Ondo State’s deep seaport licence, which had previously been misdocumented but has now been corrected to reflect the state’s identity.

The APC Chairman in Ondo State, Ade Adetimehin, represented by Vice Chairman Atili Agabra, praised the governor’s administration for creating job opportunities for youths and maintaining active engagement with party structures.

APC National Vice Chairman (South-West), Isaac Kekemeke, also affirmed Aiyedatiwa’s leadership role in the state, describing him as the chief mobiliser for Tinubu’s re-election bid. 

Kekemeke noted that most criticisms of the government were coming from within the APC itself, while opposition parties such as the PDP and Labour Party no longer posed serious threats in Ondo State.

This call for unity underscores the strategic importance of Ondo State in the APC’s broader national campaign.

Aiyedatiwa’s message reflects both a warning against internal discord and a rallying cry for collective effort, positioning the state as a stronghold for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election drive.
