Supporters and foundation members from the three local government areas forming the Ijebu Central Federal Constituency began arriving at the venue as early as 7:00 a.m. By the time the programme gained momentum, the local government playground had filled with party faithful, who used the occasion to renew their commitment to the APC and to endorse its candidates for the elections ahead.
In his address, Odumosu urged members throughout the constituency to stay firm in their loyalty to the party while stepping up efforts at grassroots outreach. He framed the push as both a test of discipline within the APC and a campaign requirement for winning support at community level.
Odumosu also set out specific campaign goals. He called on members to work relentlessly for the success of Senator Adeola’s governorship ambition in Ogun State, the re-election of President Tinubu, and the eventual victory of all APC candidates in the 2027 elections.
He argued that the party’s performance would depend heavily on how effectively voters were reached, on the ability of members to remain united, and on maintaining active engagement in communities rather than limiting activities to election periods.
