The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ward 07, Oluyole Local Government Area, has continued to strengthen its grassroots base as members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) defected to the party during a well-attended meeting featuring a campaign tour by the APC candidates for Oluyole Federal and State Constituencies.

The meeting was attended by Hon. Tolulope Sadipe, popularly known as Imole Oluyole, the incumbent member of the House of Representatives and APC candidate for Oluyole Federal Constituency, alongside Barrister Akeem Lawal, popularly known as Oriyomi Oluyole, the APC candidate for Oluyole State Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly.

The gathering attracted party leaders, executives, stakeholders, women, youths and other party faithful, who reaffirmed their commitment to the growth and electoral success of the party ahead of the forthcoming general elections.

In their separate addresses, the leaders urged members to remain committed, dedicated and united while intensifying house-to-house campaigns to secure victory for the APC. They also encouraged eligible members to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), emphasising their importance in the electoral process. The women were equally commended for their organisation during party outings and encouraged to sustain the commendable practice.

The APC Oluyole Local Government Chairman, Prince Dotun Oladipupo, acknowledged Ward 07 as one of the party’s committed and dedicated wards. He charged members not to relent in their mobilisation efforts, expressing confidence in the party’s ability to defeat the opposition, particularly the APM, at all levels in the forthcoming elections.

Prince Oladipupo subsequently introduced the two candidates to the gathering and urged members to give them the necessary support to achieve electoral victory.

In his remarks, Barrister Akeem Lawal, Oriyomi Oluyole, expressed appreciation to Ward 07 members, describing the ward as one he greatly values and respects for its continued support. He encouraged them to remain steadfast, declaring that “winners never quit, and quitters never win.”

As part of his campaign commitments, Barrister Lawal announced the provision of two boreholes for the Idi Ayunre and Olode sectors, respectively, alongside 50 solar-powered streetlights across the wards. He also presented campaign souvenirs to members as a gesture of appreciation and solidarity.

He expressed optimism that, by God’s grace, all APC candidates would emerge victorious in the forthcoming general elections, urging party members to intensify their grassroots mobilisation.

In a warm reception, Hon. Tolulope Sadipe, Imole Oluyole, thanked God for how far she had come in her political journey and appreciated party members for their unwavering support.

Sadipe highlighted the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration in infrastructure, education, healthcare and other critical sectors, urging members to remain steadfast and confident in the APC, which she described as the party to beat in the forthcoming elections.

Hon. Sadipe also spoke on ongoing infrastructure projects, including pedestrian bridges and the Olojuoro Road project, providing updates on the progress of work. She reaffirmed her commitment to effective representation and promised to do more for the constituency if re-elected.

As part of her show of appreciation and support, the federal lawmaker donated a generator, motorcycles, cash gifts and campaign souvenirs to party members.

The Ward 07 Chairman, Hon. Kamorudeen Orilonise Busari, appreciated both candidates for their visit and engagement with party members. He assured them that Ward 07 would remain committed to its mobilisation efforts and deliver electoral victory for the APC in the forthcoming general elections.

The meeting ended on a positive and fruitful note, with an atmosphere of unity, solidarity and renewed enthusiasm among members. The gathering reflected the spirit of a family reunion, with participants expressing renewed commitment to the growth, stability and electoral success of the party.
