The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has distanced itself from comments made by former Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Razaq Obe, who warned that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could lose the state in the 2027 presidential election if internal disputes within the party are not resolved.

Obe had expressed concern that grievances arising from the party’s primary elections had left many members feeling alienated, warning that unresolved divisions could affect both the National Assembly and presidential elections in the state. He argued that the APC risked repeating past electoral setbacks if dissatisfied party members were ignored.

Reacting to the remarks, the Ondo APC said Obe’s views were entirely personal and did not reflect the position of the party. The party maintained that it remained united and fully committed to delivering victory for President Tinubu and all APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.

The state leadership also expressed confidence that internal disagreements would be resolved through the party’s established mechanisms, insisting that there was no threat to the APC’s electoral strength in Ondo State. Party officials urged members to remain focused on reconciliation and party unity rather than making public statements capable of creating unnecessary tension.

The exchange highlights continuing debates within the ruling party over candidate selection and internal democracy as political parties begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections. Analysts believe how the APC manages internal disputes in key states such as Ondo could influence its electoral prospects in the next presidential contest.
