GOVERNOR AIYEDATIWA REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO APC, DISMISSES ANTI-PARTY ALLEGATIONS


The Ondo State Government has dismissed reports alleging that Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa is involved in anti-party activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the claims as false, misleading, and an attempt to create unnecessary controversy.

In a statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, the government clarified that a photograph showing Governor Aiyedatiwa with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Ondo Central Senatorial candidate, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, at the Government House Chapel was being deliberately misrepresented.

According to the statement, the Government House Chapel, like the mosque within the Government House premises, is a public place of worship open to all citizens, religious leaders, and public officials, regardless of political affiliation. It stressed that the facility is not reserved exclusively for members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The statement further explained that Senator Akinyelure attended the chapel for worship and also used the opportunity to personally appreciate Governor Aiyedatiwa for sending representatives and a goodwill message during his 70th birthday celebration held last week. It described the meeting as a normal act of courtesy and respect that should not be interpreted through a political lens.

The Governor's spokesman also noted that Senator Ayo Akinyelure is the younger brother of Chief Pius Akinyelure, a prominent APC leader, ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Chairman of the Governor's Advisory Council in Ondo State.

Reaffirming the Governor's political stance, the statement said Governor Aiyedatiwa remains fully committed to the APC and all its candidates ahead of the 2027 elections. It added that the Governor would continue working with all party structures to ensure the party's success in future electoral contests across Ondo State.

The government urged APC members and the general public to disregard what it described as the antics of individuals seeking to sow division within the ruling party, maintaining that Governor Aiyedatiwa remains focused on delivering good governance and consolidating the achievements of the APC administration in the state.
