•Mobilises grassroots structures, rallies Ondo South for Tinubu, APC candidates

A former member of the House of Representatives and senatorial aspirant, Rt Honourable Mayowa Akinfolarin, at the weekend, mobilised his political structures across Ondo South Senatorial District with the directive to ensure overwhelming victory for President Bola Tinubu as well as every candidate within the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akinfolarin, who had served as both state and federal lawmaker, emphasised that the interest of the APC and the success of Tinubu’s emergence at the polls in 2027 outweigh every personal ambition.

The APC chieftain, who contested the ticket of the party for the senatorial district during the recent primaries of the party, stressed this while meeting with party leaders, women, youths, and grassroots coordinators across the six local councils of the senatorial district.

According to Akinfolarin, the gathering was aimed at strengthening the APC’s electoral machinery ahead of 2027 and ensuring that the party presents a united front.

Akinfolarin added that every loyal party member must stand by the decisions of the leadership of the party in order to preserve the unity and strength of the progressive family.

The former lawmaker, who commended the minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his support before, during, and after the party primaries, described him as “a political lion” whose courage, influence, and capacity to defend and protect his followers have continued to inspire confidence across the political landscape of the state.

On his part, the Director-General of Akinfolarin’s political structure, Nimbe Tawose, hailed party leaders, stakeholders, and loyal supporters for their support and prayers for Akinfolarin during the struggle for the party’s ticket.
