Some prominent members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State have cautioned Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the party’s national chairman, against actions that could destabilize the state in an attempt to secure victory for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the APC’s candidate for the November 16 governorship election.
In a letter dated November 6, 2024, and delivered to Ganduje in Abuja, the APC members, operating under the group “Osun Patriots,” stated that they would not support Aiyedatiwa in the upcoming election.
The letter, signed by their coordinator, Comrade Dele Oyewo, accused Ganduje and the National Working Committee (NWC) of failing to address the issues surrounding the primary election that led to Aiyedatiwa’s nomination as the party’s candidate.

As previously reported, the group had endorsed Otunba Benson Akingboye, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), citing their dissatisfaction with the outcome of the APC primary.
The letter reads in part, “It is going to be almost impossible to work with the party and the governor for the November 16 gubernatorial election.
“We pray that in a bid to favour Gov. Aiyedatiwa, some people will not set Ondo state on fire. Meanwhile what would eventually remove Gov. Aiyedatiwa from office is already cooking even when he is forcefully declared as the winner of the election. We have told our people not to waste their precious votes.
“If truly the party leadership is concerned about the great future of our dear party and the good people of Ondo state, it will see this write-up as a clarion call rather than attack on the party. We are monitoring all the activities very closely from all quarters.”
