The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has put its internal disagreements behind it and now fully united behind President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.

The party gave the assurance on Friday during a press briefing at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre in Akure, where its leaders insisted that reconciliation within the party was already producing results.

Speaking at the event, Ondo APC Chairman, Hon. Babatunde Kolawole, said there was no room for rivalry in the party, stressing that all members belong to one political family.

According to him, with no governorship election in Ondo State in 2027 and President Tinubu emerging as the party’s sole presidential candidate, members have no reason to see one another as opponents.

“There is no rivalry. There is no cause for alarm. We are on top of it and everything will be okay,” Kolawole said.

He thanked President Tinubu and the APC National Chairman for their continued support for the Ondo chapter, and also acknowledged the contributions of the Senate Leader, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, and other party stakeholders.

Also speaking, the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign in Ondo State, Victor Olabimtan, said the reconciliation committee set up after the party congress had been reaching out to aggrieved members, interest groups and party organs across the country, including Abuja and Lagos.

Olabimtan pointed to the attendance of former estranged leaders, including Wale Akinterinwa and Princess Oladunni Odu, at the recent APC presidential campaign rally in the state as proof that the fence-mending efforts were working.

He noted that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had made the unification of all tendencies in the party a key priority.

“Nobody is left out. We will continue to strengthen the unity we are enjoying today and ensure everybody is brought on board,” Olabimtan said.

He expressed confidence that the renewed unity would deliver victory for Tinubu as well as for the party’s National Assembly and State Assembly candidates.

What APC Said About Political Violence

Meanwhile, APC chieftain, Chief Olusola Oke, dismissed fears of political thuggery in Ondo State ahead of 2027, insisting that the state remains peaceful and that no opposition member had been attacked.

Oke said the broad support for Tinubu in the state left no basis for violence, and expressed confidence that security agencies, working with Governor Aiyedatiwa as Chief Security Officer, would maintain peace.

“At the end of the day, we are going to have the most peaceful election,” he assured.
