President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO) and other All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in Ondo State to close ranks, strengthen party unity and work collectively towards securing victory in the 2027 general elections.
The President’s message was delivered by Senate Leader, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, at the APC presidential campaign rally in Akure, where he emphasised the importance of cooperation among political stakeholders across Ondo South, Central and North.
Bamidele identified Governor Aiyedatiwa as the state’s presidential campaign coordinator and urged all party leaders and federal appointees to support his leadership. He also challenged the governor to ensure inclusiveness by giving every stakeholder an opportunity to contribute to the campaign.
Among those expected to play active roles are BTO, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, former Governor Olusegun Mimiko and other prominent APC leaders.
The Senate Leader disclosed that Governor Aiyedatiwa had pledged to secure at least one million votes for President Tinubu in Ondo State, noting that achieving the target would require unity, grassroots mobilisation and collective commitment.
He also highlighted federal appointments and representation given to Ondo State under the Tinubu administration, urging residents to consider the benefits when making their electoral decisions.
The President’s message, according to Bamidele, is clear: no political leader should be sidelined, and every stakeholder must contribute to building a united APC capable of delivering electoral success in 2027.
