Tensions are rising within the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over allegations that a committee was formed by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to manage funds for the party's 2027 general election candidates. The alleged committee includes key state officials such as the Commissioner for Finance, the Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands and Housing, and the governor's brother.
However, the governor's Senior Special Assistant on Public Engagement, Steve Bayode Otaloro, has dismissed the committee's existence, labeling the report as a fabrication from those attempting to sow discord within the APC. Despite the governor's denials, some APC candidates have voiced concerns, alleging that the committee's establishment could lead to funds being used to support loyal candidates against those from other political parties.
This comes amidst broader accusations of anti-party activities, with some claiming Aiyedatiwa became dissatisfied with the APC after losing party primaries.
