After NASS primary defeat, Aiyedatiwa accused of opening talks with ADC

—– Gov denies, says it’s antics of mischief makers

By Dayo Johnson Akure

The crisis in the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has taken a new dimension following allegations that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has opened talks with the opposition African Democratic Congress, ADC, after some of his preferred aspirants lost the party’s National Assembly tickets.

The allegation gained traction after photographs surfaced showing the governor with the ADC’s Ondo Central Senatorial candidate for the 2027 election, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, shortly after a church service at the Government House Chapel, Alagbaka, Akure, on Sunday.

Aiyedatiwa was also said to have attended Akinyelure’s 70th birthday celebration, a development some party leaders interpreted as a sign of deepening political rapprochement.
