Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has rejected claims that he is pressuring members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to switch to other political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections. During a meeting with APC local government and ward chairmen in Akure, Aiyedatiwa emphasized his zero tolerance for anti-party activities within the APC and denied ever instructing anyone to leave the party or run for office under a different political banner.
Addressing allegations from "naysayers, blackmailers, and slanderers," the governor characterized the accusations as baseless. He stated, "I have zero tolerance for anti-party. I have never engaged in anti-party in my life." Aiyedatiwa defended his political loyalty, pointing to his decision to join the Alliance for Democracy (AD/ACN) when the Labour Party was in power and the PDP was strong in his senatorial district and local government.
The governor called on APC members to remain committed to the party and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC candidates in the upcoming 2027 elections. He urged the 18 local government and 203 ward chairmen to intensify grassroots mobilization and warned against any actions that could harm the APC's electoral prospects.
Aiyedatiwa emphasized the importance of regular meetings among party leaders to discuss party affairs and election preparations, focusing primarily on voter mobilization and strengthening the party structure.
