By Dayo Johnson, Akure

AKURE — Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has denied allegations that he is involved in anti-party activities following the substitution of his preferred National Assembly candidates by the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Aiyedatiwa spoke on Monday at a stakeholders’ meeting with APC local government and ward chairmen in Akure.

The governor described those spreading the allegations as “naysayers, blackmailers and slanderers” and declared zero tolerance for anti-party activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
