Amid the violence that marred the ward congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, a party stalwart, Oluwaseun Ajongbolo, has called for calm and reconciliation among members.
Ajongbolo called on the party leaders and faithful to sheathe their swords and embrace genuine peace in the interest of party stability and future electoral success.
In a statement issued to journalists on Tuesday, the Akoko-born, U.S.-based business consultant warned that prolonged infighting could weaken the ruling party’s structure ahead of the 2027 general elections and the re-election bid of Bola Tinubu.
The House of Representatives aspirant for Akoko South West/Akoko South East Federal Constituency noted that political unrest within a ruling party sends dangerous signals not only to loyalists but also to investors closely monitoring the state’s political climate.
"As a ruling party in the state, political unrest not only undermines party progress, it also sends negative signals to investors and could affect economic opportunities," he said.

While condemning the violence reportedly recorded at the party secretariat in Akure and during the ward congress in Idanre, Ajongbolo demanded swift action against those responsible.
He called on security authorities, particularly the Ondo State Police Command, to identify and prosecute individuals involved in acts capable of threatening peace and internal democracy within the party.
The APC chieftain maintained that unity, discipline and decisive leadership remain critical if the party hopes to consolidate power in Ondo State and present a formidable front in 2027.
He, however, asked members to place the collective interest of the party above personal ambition, stressing that dialogue and a genuine commitment to peace remain the only sustainable path forward.
