Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justicw, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, SAN, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can rest assured of Ondo State’s support in the 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence that Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa will deliver the state for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ajulo, who is currently in Cambridge, United Kingdom, disclosed that he was cutting short his study to return to Akure, Ondo State, ahead of the APC mega presidential rally scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, in furtherance of the party’s preparations for the 2027 general election.
Already, the Deputy Director-General of the Ondo State Presidential Campaign Council, Dr. Olumuyiwa Adu, popularly known as Adu Cubana, has boosted the campaign fleet with 25 branded vehicles.
He said the gesture was a demonstration of his full conviction in the overall competence of President Tinubu to fully transform the Nigerian economy and restore the country’s lost glory.
Speaking with confidence about the political atmosphere in Ondo State, Ajulo said the President had every reason to count on Governor Aiyedatiwa, whose electoral record and growing political influence, he argued, had significantly strengthened the APC’s position across the state.
“President Tinubu should go to sleep in Ondo State.
“Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has the political structure, grassroots reach and leadership capacity to deliver the state for him in 2027.
“We are not merely making promises; we are standing on an established electoral record.
“After what we witnessed in the 2024 governorship election, which I call the 18 Pro-Max victory, there is little doubt about the depth of the APC’s political reach in Ondo State.
“The governor won across all 18 local government areas and 3,933 polling units.
“That is a remarkable electoral statement.
“Beyond the election, the political landscape has continued to evolve, with opposition leaders and members joining the APC, reflecting the growing attraction of the party under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership,” he enthused.
Ajulo, who chairs the Legal Committee of the Ondo State APC Presidential Campaign Council, particularly referenced the governor’s recent meeting with over 1,000 Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants, during which he charged them to return to their respective wards and mobilise support for President Tinubu and the APC.
According to him, the meeting was more than a routine political gathering; it demonstrated the governor’s determination to translate political structures into grassroots engagement and sustained mobilisation ahead of the election.
“As Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Ondo State Presidential Campaign Council, I can assure you that we are organised, prepared and committed to the task ahead.
“Interestingly, as things stand, President Tinubu’s candidacy is the only one that has not been subjected to the kind of litigation challenging its nomination, unlike some other presidential candidates; in fact, other candidates are on shaky grounds.
“We will work assiduously with the Governor, strategically, legally, financially, physically, with other party leaders to ensure that Ondo State remains a strong pillar of support for the President in 2027,” he said.
Ajulo also attributed the APC’s growing political confidence to what he described as the complementary development efforts of the Tinubu-led administration under its Renewed Hope Agenda and Governor Aiyedatiwa’s OUR EASE Agenda.
He maintained that the combination of federal policies and the governor’s development initiatives were creating a basis for sustained public engagement with the party, while urging the APC to consolidate its achievements through effective governance and continued engagement with the people.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu and Governor Aiyedatiwa’s OUR EASE Agenda are complementary development visions.
“What matters ultimately is the impact of governance on the lives of ordinary Nigerians and the people of Ondo State.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa understands that electoral victories are sustained not merely by political calculations, but by leadership, accessibility, performance and the confidence of the people.”
The Attorney-General also commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for his handling of the affairs of the Ondo State APC, particularly his efforts to manage disagreements arising from the last party primary and maintain cohesion among party stakeholders.
He described the governor’s approach as an important demonstration of political maturity, inclusive leadership and an understanding that party unity remains essential to the APC’s preparations for 2027.
Ajulo concluded that the forthcoming presidential election would provide another opportunity for the APC to demonstrate its political organisation and consolidate its presence in Ondo State.
*Adu Cubana enriches campaign fleet with 25 branded vehicles*
Meanwhile, the Deputy Director-General of the State’s Presidential Campaign Council, Olumuyiwa Adu, aka Adu Cubana, has announced that he recently branded 25 campaign vehicles to boost the campaign fleet for President Tinubu, under the leadership of Governor Aiyedatiwa.
Adu, in an interview with THE HOPE, said he believed strongly in the socio-economic and political policies of President Tinubu, stressing that the President needs another four years to consolidate on gains recorded so far.
“Look at the President’s various laudable programmes in road networks criss-crossing the six-geo political zones of the federation, consider the great inputs to boost agriculture, and the NELFUND scheme to assist indigent students, among others.
“You don’t change a winning team as President Tinubu has been tested and found to have peformed beyond our expectation, and now, we trust him and there is no going back,” he commended.
Adu who was an aspirant for the Ondo North Senatorial District’s candidature during the last primaries of the party, said he was not at any point pained that he could not secure the party ticket.
“I’m a party man and above all, a democrat.
“If more than one person are contesting for a position, one person will still get it, leaving the others to hope for another day.
“We have brotherly approach to things in Ondo State, and it is not in our character to be desperate; and above all, I believe that God has His programme for everyone,” Adu appraised.
He expressed delight at the level of reconciliation and unity achieved so far in the Ondo State APC, attributing it largely to the maturity and fatherly roles displayed by Governor Aiyedatiwa, in assuaging frayed nerves and promoting peace and unity.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa actually awes, in his level of maturity and his ingenuity in assuaging frayed nerves; he is always presenting a large heart and promoting peace and unity; so Mr. Governor stands to be commended,” Adu applauded.
The Hope.
