The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State  denied the allegations by the National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Ajuri Ahmed, that the APC is responsible for the crisis in opposition parties to retain power in 2027.

The party described the claim as  untrue and careless.

In a statement by the Ondo APC Director, Media & Publicity, Steve Otaloro the party noted that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s government, is focused on reengineering the nation’s economy and has no time for politicking. It’s the opposition parties that are weakening themselves due to lack of cohesion.

The statement reads in part “We appreciate the role of opposition parties in putting the ruling party on its toes through constructive criticism. However, before merging with other parties, they should resolve their internal crises. A divided house cannot discuss mergers.

“The 2027 presidential election is not our current focus, as President Tinubu’s mandate has just begun. It’s God who puts leaders in office, and at the appointed time, President Tinubu will consider contesting for a second term.

“Ajuri Ahmed’s boast that NNPP will capture Ondo State is misguided. The people are not animals to be captured. Moreover, NNPP’s governorship candidate, Gbenga Edema, was a former APC member who defected after losing the primary. This indicates NNPP’s lack of structure in Ondo State.

“Relying on surprises to win the election is absurd. The good work of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa will be the yardstick for his victory in the November 16 governorship election. The people want empirical facts, and Governor Aiyedatiwa has fulfilled every indicator.

“NNPP should focus on what they will do differently from the APC-led government instead of relying on attacks and surprises.
