Leaders Applaud Loyalty, Party Commitment
Speaking at the gathering, the Chairman of Ofada Ward, Adekunle Anifowose, said Ajibola has remained committed to the party despite past political setbacks.
“He has been consistent and has never abandoned the party. Even when he was denied the opportunity previously, he continued to work with us and support the administration,” he said.
Anifowose described Ajibola as a patriotic member, urging party stakeholders to support his aspiration based on his dedication rather than financial strength.
Stakeholders Highlight Humility, Accessibility
Also speaking, Ganiyat Oyelakin said Ajibola’s humility and accessibility distinguish him among contenders.
“He answers whenever we call him and supports people regularly. We believe he will emerge victorious and serve the people well,” she said.

Executives Promise Support, Call For Fair Consideration
Ward executives across the local government commended Ajibola’s contributions, noting that he has consistently supported party members and community initiatives.
They recalled that despite being dropped at a critical stage in the past due to party decisions, he remained committed and continued to invest in the growth of the party.
The executives described him as a well-known grassroots politician who has made visible impact across wards, adding that his support for members during festive periods and other times reflects his generosity.
They pledged to mobilise support for his emergence as the party’s candidate and appealed to party leaders and the apex body to grant him the opportunity to contest.
The Overall Chairman of Ward Chairmen in the local government, Mathew Sopade, reaffirmed the collective backing of the executives, expressing confidence that Ajibola would deliver if given the mandate.
