Politics in Ondo State has entered another tense moment. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa is being accused of ordering thugs to attack the state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akure.
On February 17, 2026, suspected hoodlums stormed the APC state secretariat during a stakeholders’ meeting. During the attack, the APC caretaker chairman in Ondo, Ade Adetimehin, was reportedly assaulted. Witnesses said he was beaten, and his phone was seized. Other party members fled as the attackers allegedly carried sticks and machetes.
After the incident, Adetimehin publicly accused Governor Aiyedatiwa of sponsoring the attack. He claimed members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), led by their state chairman Ademola Odudu, carried it out on the governor’s orders.
