As the 2027 elections approach, tensions within Ondo State’s All Progressives Congress (APC) are escalating, prompting calls for unity from political support groups. A faction aligned with President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign has expressed concern over Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa's handling of the upcoming National Assembly primaries, which they argue is deepening divisions among party members.
The group emphasizes the need for cohesive strategies to prevent infighting that could jeopardize the party's electoral prospects. "If we do not come together now and resolve our differences, we risk losing everything we have worked for,” stated Olabode Afolabi, a spokesperson for the support group. This sentiment reflects a growing urgency among party loyalists to present a united front ahead of crucial primaries.
Looking ahead, the APC must navigate internal conflicts while fostering a collaborative environment to emerge stronger in the polls. If Governor Aiyedatiwa can address these issues effectively, it could bolster party morale and enhance the chances of success in the 2027 elections, but failure to do so may lead to detrimental consequences for the party's future in Ondo State.
