Candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 National Assembly elections in Ondo State have called on party members to accept the outcome of the party’s primary elections and avoid protests, stressing that unity is essential to securing victory in the general elections.
Speaking on behalf of the candidates after they returned from Abuja, the APC flag bearer for Ondo West/Ondo East Federal Constituency, Michael Akintomide, who replaced Abiola Makinde, urged aggrieved party members to remain calm and respect the supremacy of the party, noting that the National Working Committee (NWC) had concluded the primary process in line with the party’s constitution.
According to him, “there is no need for agitation. For clarity’s sake, the National Working Committee has spoken, and there is party supremacy. Whatever they are saying on social media that is contrary to the position of the party should be ignored. Even if there are protests, don’t join them. Believe in the process. The process has produced credible candidates.”
Akintomide, who reaffirmed that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa remains the leader of the APC in Ondo State, expressed confidence that the governor and the party leadership would work together to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
