Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has come out to back President Bola Tinubu for a second term.
He recently revealed that he would actively work towards the re-election of the President in 2027.
Speaking at a meeting held at the Government House, Akure, the state capital, he called for unity among APC members and expressed optimism that the party would grow stronger in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, every pro-Tinubu group in the state APC must henceforth be working under the leadership of the party, because the party will always be supreme.
He stated that the APC’s strength lies in its unity; therefore, no form of division should be encouraged by party members.
“Our strength lies in our unity, and all of us as leaders of the APC in the state must come together to build on the foundation already laid.
Because we are heading towards general elections, it is expected that various support groups will spring up. However, all groups must be under the leadership of the central party structure, which has the State Working Committee and the State Caucus as core components,” he said.
Gov. Lucky further noted that because there are no pending governorship elections in Ondo State, there is time to concentrate solely on mobilising grassroots votes for Tinubu.
He concluded by saying that President BAT has already won the election, and the victory must be overwhelming.
“We don’t have any pending governorship election here in Ondo State. Therefore, we have to focus all our efforts on mobilising grassroots votes for the re-election of the President in 2007.
It is granted that the President will win the election. However, for us in the South West and Ondo State, the victory must be overwhelming,” he added.
