The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has urged members of the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to put aside their differences and work together to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Tunji-Ojo made the call yesterday when he received the Ondo APC Reconciliation Committee, led by its chairman, Prince Olabiyi Olaleye Poroye, in Abuja.

The minister stressed that the strength of the party depended on its ability to resolve internal disagreements, accommodate divergent interests and present a united front.

He said reconciliation should go beyond settling disputes, describing it as an opportunity to rebuild confidence among members, reposition the party and create a stronger platform for electoral success.

Tunji-Ojo also urged APC stakeholders in Ondo State to consolidate support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other candidates of the party, saying collective efforts were needed to advance the administration’s Renewed Hope agenda.

Earlier, Poroye said the reconciliation committee was committed to achieving genuine reconciliation and restoring unity among aggrieved members and stakeholders in the state.

He urged APC candidates and party leaders to adopt winning strategies, with emphasis on grassroots mobilisation, effective engagement with members and broad-based political consultations.

Poroye said victory at the polls would require candidates to work with other stakeholders rather than pursue individual ambitions, stressing the need for cooperation and unity across the state.

The meeting is expected to strengthen ongoing efforts to resolve internal differences within the Ondo APC and enhance the party’s readiness for the 2027 elections.
