Akure, Aug. 23, 2026 (NAN) The All Progressives Congress (APC) Reconciliation Committee in Ondo State has warned members of the party against engaging in anti-party activities.

This is as the committee says loyalty to the party and its candidates, including President Bola Tinubu, is non-negotiable.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Secretary of the committee, Mr Dele Olanubi, on Sunday in Akure.

The committee said that members who left the APC to contest elective offices on the platform of other political parties had forfeited their membership of the party.

It said such persons could no longer claim any relationship or residual affiliation with the APC.

The committee, chaired by Mr Biyi Poroye, also warned members against attending meetings or engaging in consultations with politicians who had left the party to contest elections on other platforms.

According to the committee, such actions constitute a breach of party discipline and undermine ongoing efforts to reconcile members and strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“Loyalty must be total. Support for candidates flying the party’s flag is non-negotiable,” the committee said.

It added that there was no justification for any member to claim support for Tinubu while working against APC candidates at other levels.

The committee said members found engaging in anti-party activities would lose privileges and recognition associated with membership, adding that serious cases would attract sanctions, including expulsion.

It said the reconciliation committee had held a meeting with Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa as part of efforts to resolve outstanding issues and foster unity within the party.

According to the committee, Aiyedatiwa reaffirmed his commitment to the progressives political family.

The governor was quoted as saying that he has remain within the progressives fold from the era of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to the emergence of the APC.

The committee said Aiyedatiwa also pledged not to join or support another political party or any individual who left the APC to contest election on another platform.

It assured APC members across the state that outstanding issues within the party would be addressed with fairness and urgency.

The committee appealed to party members to avoid actions capable of creating further divisions, stressing that the party’s interest must take precedence over individual ambitions.

“The APC is greater than any individual ambition. Discipline, loyalty and fidelity to the party’s candidates remain the only acceptable path,” it said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
