The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed satisfaction success of the party’s ward meetings held across all 203 wards in the state.

The party in a statement describes the exercise as a major step towards strengthening grassroots mobilisation and consolidating the party’s readiness for the 2027 general elections.

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had recently directed the conduct of meetings in all the 203 wards as a design to strengthen party unity, energise members at the grassroots.

It was also aimed at establishing a coordinated mobilisation structure to secure victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election and all APC candidates in the state.

State Chairman, Kolawole Babatunde, expressed delight at the impressive turnout and encouraging feedback from across the state.

Babatunde commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for his strategic leadership, inclusive approach and tireless efforts to unite party members and position the APC for electoral victory.

Babatunde noted that the Governor directed all elected officeholders and political appointees to attend the meetings.

He particularly appreciated the Governor for ensuring that serving members of his cabinet could participate in the exercise, acknowledging their importance as leaders and stakeholders at the ward and local government levels.

The chairman described the turnout as remarkable, especially as the meetings were held on weekdays, unlike the party’s usual weekend gatherings. He also commended the provision of logistical support that enabled members, including those travelling considerable distances, to participate.

Babatunde said the meetings marked the beginning of regular grassroots engagements that would continue until the general elections, with members expected to intensify community-level mobilisation to achieve Governor Aiyedatiwa’s target of one million votes for President Tinubu and secure victory for APC candidates across the state.

He disclosed that he would meet with the Governor within the week to present feedback from the 203 wards and discuss strategies for subsequent meetings.
