Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has strongly denied allegations that he is supporting any individual or making commitments regarding party tickets ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The governor made the clarification on Sunday at a stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress, APC, held in Akure, where party leaders and members gathered to deliberate on internal party matters.
Although Ondo State is not scheduled to hold a governorship election in 2027, political activities within the APC have intensified, particularly among members seeking elective positions in the state and national assemblies.
Aiyedatiwa cautioned party members against spreading unverified claims and misinformation, warning that such narratives could sow discord and weaken party cohesion.
He said the need for clarification had become necessary amid growing speculation as political consultations and preparations for party primaries begin to take shape.
According to the governor, he has neither endorsed any aspirant nor given assurances regarding candidacies for legislative seats.
“In the political space, falsehoods, insinuations and assumptions often circulate with the aim of creating divisions.
“I want to make it clear that I have not promised anyone a ticket. I have not assured anyone of a ticket for either the state or national assembly, nor have I indicated that anyone will be denied a return ticket,” Aiyedatiwa said.
He urged party members to remain focused on unity and collective progress, stressing that fairness and due process would guide all future party activities.
