A former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Jumoke Akindele, has warned that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa must recognise that any perceived support for anti-party activities by members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state would amount to political suicide.
Akindele expressed concern over allegations that some members of the APC in the state have been courting and working for opposition candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While describing the development as troubling for the party’s cohesion and electoral prospects, Akindele, who was the first female speaker in the state, stressed that, regardless of the governor’s political calculations, it would be dangerous to follow such a direction.
The former Speaker, who cautioned that anti-party plots are capable of undermining President Bola Tinubu’s bid for an overwhelming re-election victory, warned that the consequences will in no small measure affect the party in the state.
She, however, took a swipe at the party’s reconciliation committee in the state, stressing that it was composed of those that had allegedly been dispossessed, stating that the offended could not be expected to seek reconciliation from those who had offended them.
