The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has warned its members to refrain from engaging in anti-party activities. The party's state chairman, Hon. Kolawole Babatunde, issued the warning during a state executive meeting held at the party's secretariat in Akure, the state capital. According to a statement signed by the party's Publicity Secretary, Muyiwa Adeyeluwa, Babatunde emphasized that the party would not tolerate any form of indiscipline among its members.
Babatunde stressed that anyone found guilty of engaging in anti-party activities would be dealt with in accordance with the party's constitution. He noted that such attitudes could jeopardize the party's progress and warned members to work together for the party's success. The chairman also assured aggrieved party members and aspirants that they had been consulted and pacified to ensure peace within the party.
The APC chairman emphasized the importance of unity among party members, stating that there was no gain in division but rather in working together. He charged members to work in accordance with the party's laid-down principles and assured that everyone would be catered for. Babatunde also urged members to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the general election, saying this would ensure the party's victory at the polls.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had previously emphasized the need for party unity, urging all aggrieved members to close ranks and support the party's candidates at the polls. He made this statement during the flagging off of Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire's campaign at the Depot Roundabout in Idanre. Aiyedatiwa's statement aligns with Babatunde's warning, highlighting the party's commitment to presenting a united front.
The APC's warning to its members comes as the party prepares for the upcoming general election. The party's leadership is keen to avoid internal conflicts that could affect its chances of winning the election. By cautioning its members against anti-party activities, the APC aims to present a united and disciplined front to its supporters and opponents alike.
Babatunde's statement also reflects the party's efforts to promote internal democracy and cohesion. By assuring aggrieved members that they have been consulted and pacified, the chairman aims to reduce tensions within the party and promote a sense of belonging among its members. This approach is expected to help the party to focus on its campaign efforts and present a strong front to voters.
The APC's emphasis on unity and discipline is also seen as a strategy to boost its chances of winning the election. With the party's leadership urging members to rally behind President Tinubu, it is clear that the APC is focused on presenting a strong and united front to voters. The party's success in the election will depend on its ability to maintain this unity and discipline among its members.
