Youth Minister Ayo Olawande has urged APC members in Ondo State to mobilise for the party’s direct primaries, stressing unity and continuity as key factors ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Minister of Youth Affairs, Ayo Olawande, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State to mobilise and participate actively in the forthcoming direct primary election ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking with journalists, Olawande said unity among party members remains essential for strengthening the party’s chances and securing continuity in governance.
He also stated that he is working with party leaders and stakeholders to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing what he described as visible developmental progress under the current administration.
According to him, Ondo State has benefited significantly from federal projects and increased government presence across key sectors.
He listed ongoing infrastructure projects, including the dualisation of the Akure–Ore and Akure–Ado roads, as well as improvements in healthcare facilities such as the establishment of a teaching hospital in Akure and support for the FUTA Teaching Hospital.
Olawande said these projects reflect the federal government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and healthcare delivery across the state.
He also highlighted Ondo State’s representation at the federal level, noting that the state currently has three ministers in the Federal Executive Council, alongside other strategic appointments.
Describing the upcoming primaries as crucial, the minister urged party members to remain united and ensure strong participation in the electoral process.
He said unity within the party would help consolidate ongoing development efforts and strengthen the APC’s position ahead of the 2027 elections.
“We are ready. Ondo State is ready. We will stand united to ensure that the President returns to office to continue the good work he has started,” he said.
