The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Babatunde Kolawole, has denied claims of division within the party, insisting that its leadership is making progress in resolving internal disagreements ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Kolawole gave the assurance while speaking with journalists in Akure on Friday, saying members across the state remained committed to securing victory for the party's candidates in the presidential, National Assembly and State House of Assembly elections.

He maintained that there was no leadership crisis within the party, adding that reconciliation efforts were yielding positive results and that no member had been excluded from the process of rebuilding unity.

According to him, members should regard themselves as part of one political family rather than rivals, particularly as Ondo State would not hold a governorship election in 2027.

“There is no rivalry, there is no division in our party. So there is no cause for alarm. I can assure you we are on top of it and everything will be okay,” he said.

Also speaking, the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign in Ondo State, Victor Olabimtan, said the reconciliation committee established after the party's congresses had engaged various party organs, interest groups and individuals to strengthen unity.

He disclosed that the committee had visited Abuja to meet some party leaders and reached out to others in Lagos and different parts of the country.

Olabimtan added that he had personally contacted several stakeholders, while Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had prioritised bringing all tendencies within the party together.

He said the reconciliation process was intended to ensure that every member remained involved in the party's activities, stressing that more effort was needed to consolidate the existing unity.

Olabimtan also urged members to put their differences aside following President Bola Tinubu's emergence, describing the development as an opportunity to strengthen the party ahead of the elections.

Meanwhile, the Ondo State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr Seun Osamaye, pledged the support of women across the state for Tinubu's re-election bid.

She said collective mobilisation and a united political front would be essential to achieving the party's target of securing one million votes for the President in the state.

Osamaye declared that women in Ondo remained firmly behind Tinubu and would work together to deliver substantial electoral support.
