Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the Interior Minister, Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo are united in advancing the state’s development, and the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Making this submission in a statement by its State Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Steve Otaloro, the All Progressives Congress, APC, described an alleged rift between the two as unfounded and a product of political detractors’ mischief.
The statement said that apart from enjoying a cordial and collaborative relationship, the two “are united in their commitment to the development of Ondo State and the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.”
It said, “As the leader of the party in the state, Governor Aiyedatiwa remains firmly committed to the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027. Likewise, Minister Tunji-Ojo, who is making us proud through his performance at the federal level, is also fully aligned with the President’s vision and mission for a greater Nigeria.”
Otaloro dismissed the notion that the national leadership of the party is involved in any reconciliation effort, insisting that there is nothing to reconcile.
His words, “The rumours being circulated are the handiwork of those intent on sowing discord within the party, especially ahead of the 2027 elections. Their agenda is to fracture the united front of the APC in Ondo State, but they will not succeed.”
He urged “the public to disregard such distractions, reaffirming that Governor Aiyedatiwa remains focused on governance and delivering democratic dividends, while Hon. Tunji-Ojo continues to excel in his national assignment.”
According to the statement, “The APC in Ondo State stands united, strong, and unwavering in its support for President Tinubu’s administration.”
