In support of the emergence of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate and Honourable Motunrayo Adijat Adeleye, as the candidate of the party for Ifo/Ewekoro federal constituency, party faithful in the constituency, on Wednesday, launched the ADJYAYI Independent Campaign Group.
The ADJYAYI group is expected to mobilise grassroots support for the Adeola and Adeleye, who was until her emergence , the state’s Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development.
The group, convened by Chief Wole Enilolobo, a former chairman, Ifo Local Government, said its emergence is aimed at complementing the established APC structure and strengthening the party’s chances of victory across wards and polling units.
Speaking at the launch, Enilolobo said: “AICG is not intended to create a parallel political structure or undermine the APC, but to build synergy with party leaders and existing structures.”
“The group’s objective was victory for YAYI, APC candidates and the party at all levels,” adding that its activities would be guided by peaceful and responsible political engagement.
He called on members to bring their ideas, energy, networks, experience and resources to the movement, while maintaining discipline and loyalty to the collective objective.
He urged members to look beyond the elections by engaging with communities and supporting initiatives that promote youth development, women empowerment, community development and economic opportunities.
In her remarks, Adeleye commended the organisers for bringing party faithful together, but clarified that her presence was not the formal commencement of her campaign.
“Although, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had lifted its campaign restrictions for Presidential and National Assembly, the APC leadership at the state level was yet to officially commence its campaign; be assured that I would follow the party’s direction before formally launching my campaign,” she stated.
