In a statement early Wednesday, the Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Campaign Council, Dr. Olukayode Ajulo, SAN, said adequate preparations had been made to give the Ondo State Sports Complex, venue of the event, all the ambience it deserved, which also included top security measures.
“Elderly persons headed for today’s rally are welcome to a warm reception from Mr. President, the VP and Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as well as their strong teams of party chieftains from various parts of the country.
“Today’s ceremony is not for the youths alone; elders from various grassroots communities should also troop in, as necessary arrangements have been put in place for their convienience and so should not see the rally as only all youths affairs.
“Mr. President loves Ondo State and its people, as he is immensely grateful for the large votes he recorded here in the 2023 presidential election, which turned out as the highest margin of the percentage of votes he recorded nationwide,” he said.
Ajulo, who is the Ondo State Attorney-General and Commussioner for Justice, said the rally “is foreshadowed as an epic carnival of a grateful President coming to meet a happy citizenry, who are equally excited with the administration’s visible achievements across all sectors.”
Besides, he said security agents had been stationed at necessary locations to secure all activities relating to today’s rally.
According to him, enthusiastic party members from the unit, up to the ward and local government levels have made adequate preparations for the historic rally.
“Even today at the Akure Aiport, I was amazed at the large numbers of air travellers coming to Ondo State, especially many indigenes of the state in other parts of the country and in the Diaspora, solely for this event.
“So, elderly party members should heartily troop in, as today’s event is for both old and young, to come out en masse, and express their love for our President,” Ajulo urged
