Ondo APC Draws Line on 2027 Support, Warns Members Against Anti-Party Activities
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has drawn a clear line ahead of the 2027 elections, warning members against supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu while simultaneously backing candidates of rival political parties.
The position reflects growing efforts within the ruling party to strengthen internal cohesion and ensure that its members operate within the framework of the party ahead of the next general elections.
The Ondo APC leadership reportedly rejected any arrangement that would allow party members to publicly identify with President Tinubu while offering electoral support to opposition candidates.
The party also warned that members found engaging in activities considered contrary to the interests of the APC could face disciplinary measures.
The development places the issue of party loyalty and anti-party activities at the centre of political discussions in Ondo State as preparations for the 2027 elections gradually intensify.
The party’s position suggests that the APC leadership intends to maintain a unified political structure rather than allow individual members or factions to simultaneously campaign for the party’s candidates and those of rival political platforms.
For the APC, the challenge extends beyond public declarations of support. The party’s ability to maintain cohesion among its members will be closely watched as political actors begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development also comes against the background of increasing political realignment across Nigeria, with politicians and political groups exploring alliances and alternative platforms ahead of the next electoral cycle.
While political disagreements remain a feature of party politics, the Ondo APC leadership has indicated that membership comes with obligations, particularly when the party is preparing for major elections.
The warning is therefore likely to put renewed attention on how APC members in Ondo State conduct their political activities and whether the party will move from verbal warnings to disciplinary action against members accused of supporting rival candidates.
As the 2027 political season approaches, the ability of the APC to manage internal differences while maintaining a common electoral direction will remain an important issue in Ondo State politics.
