Dr. Kayode Ajulo, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Ondo State, has expressed confidence that Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa will deliver the state for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election. Ajulo, who is currently in Cambridge, United Kingdom, disclosed that he was cutting short his study to return to Akure ahead of the APC mega presidential rally scheduled for Wednesday, April 11. He cited Aiyedatiwa's 18 Pro-Max electoral record and expanding APC membership as reasons for his confidence.
Ajulo highlighted Aiyedatiwa's electoral record, which saw the governor win across all 18 local government areas and 3,933 polling units in the 2024 governorship election. He described this as a remarkable electoral statement and evidence of the APC's growing political reach in Ondo State. The Attorney-General also noted that opposition leaders and members have been joining the APC, reflecting the growing attraction of the party under Aiyedatiwa's leadership.
Ajulo referenced a recent meeting between Aiyedatiwa and over 1,000 Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants, during which he charged them to return to their respective wards and mobilise support for President Tinubu and the APC. He described the meeting as a demonstration of the governor's determination to translate political structures into grassroots engagement and sustained mobilisation ahead of the election.
As Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Ondo State APC Presidential Campaign Council, Ajulo assured that the party is organised, prepared, and committed to the task ahead. He noted that President Tinubu's candidacy is the only one that has not been subjected to litigation challenging the nominations of some other Presidential Candidates.
Ajulo attributed the APC's growing political confidence to the complementary development efforts of the Tinubu administration. He expressed optimism that with the Governor's leadership, the party will work assiduously to ensure that Ondo State remains a strong pillar of support for President Tinubu in 2027.
The Attorney-General's comments come ahead of the APC mega presidential rally scheduled for April 11, which is part of the party's preparations for the 2027 general election. Ajulo's confidence in Aiyedatiwa's ability to deliver the state for the APC reflects the party's efforts to consolidate its position in Ondo State.
With Aiyedatiwa at the helm, the APC is poised to build on its recent electoral successes in the state. The party's efforts to mobilise support and strengthen its grassroots presence are seen as crucial to its chances in the 2027 presidential election.
Key points
- Aiyedatiwa's 18 Pro-Max electoral record and expanding APC membership have significantly strengthened the APC's position across Ondo State.
