The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to formally activate its campaign structure ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the inauguration of a campaign council and various committees scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2026.

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who is the leader of the party in the state, will swear in members of the council and committees at the International Cultural and Event Centre, Akure.

The event will bring together key political figures, party leaders and stakeholders as the APC intensifies preparations for the polls.

The campaign council, chaired by Governor Aiyedatiwa, has as members his deputy, Dr Olayide Adelami; Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji; and State Chairman, Hon. Kolawole Babatunde.

Also listed are the Minister of Finance, Dr Taiwo Oyedele; Minister of Interior, Hon. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo; Minister of Youths, Hon. Ayo Olawande; National Vice Chairman (South-West), Dr Oladiran Iyantan; Special Advisers to the President; and members of the National Assembly.

The party said the council would provide direction and coordination for the various committees saddled with campaign activities, as it targets more than one million votes for President Bola Tinubu and victory for all APC candidates in Ondo State.

The State Secretary, Alex Kalejaye, urged council and committee members, as well as party faithful, to attend the inauguration, describing it as a major step in the party’s bid to consolidate its political strength ahead of the 2027 elections.
