Group warns against parallel structures in Ondo APC

By Boye Oyeyemi –

A group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, the Asiwaju Media Team, has condemned attempts by some members to create parallel structures within the party.

The group described such moves as divisive and capable of undermining unity and discipline among party members.

In a statement by its Director General, Prince Emorioloye Owolemi, the group accused some stakeholders of trying to destabilise the APC by operating outside recognised party frameworks.

It alleged that some of them had, in the past, collected money from opposition members under the guise of securing federal appointments, which were later revoked by the presidency.

“Since that exposure, those responsible have distanced themselves from the genuine APC structures in Ondo State,” the statement read. “Rather than working with the party to promote good governance, they have resorted to false propaganda aimed at creating a rift between the President and the state leadership.”

Owolemi said the same individuals were now seeking to regain favour ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 campaign by “floating a parallel organ” in the state.

He reaffirmed that President Tinubu remains the national leader of the APC, while Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa leads the party in Ondo State.

“Our unity, not factionalism, will secure victory in 2027 and protect the progress we have fought for,” Owolemi said.
