Strengthening the APC Political Base

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State is seeing a surge in internal cohesion and public support, according to party chieftain Richard Olomofe. During a recent political engagement in Ose Local Government Area, Olomofe attributed this renewed energy to the leadership style of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. He noted that the Governor’s ability to stabilize the party structure has positioned the APC to deliver a significant electoral performance in the 2027 general elections, specifically in securing local support for the national administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Defense of National Economic Policy

Olomofe, an aspirant for the Owo/Ose Federal Constituency, utilized his platform to address the broader national economic landscape. He offered a robust defense of President Tinubu’s major policy shifts, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market. According to Olomofe, these decisions were not made for immediate political popularity but were necessary "bold steps" to ensure the survival of the Nigerian economy. He urged citizens to look beyond current hardships toward the long-term stability these reforms are intended to produce.

Grassroots Mobilization and Welfare Support

The ward tour in Idoani served as both a political strategy session and a community outreach event. Olomofe emphasized that grassroots mobilization is critical for ensuring the public understands the intent behind government policies. To mitigate the immediate impact of rising living costs, the tour included the distribution of palliatives to local residents. Olomofe acknowledged that while global energy disruptions and Middle Eastern tensions have contributed to rising fuel prices, domestic infrastructure projects remain the government's primary tool for delivering future relief.
