The event, which took place at the PDP Secretariat in Ore, the headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area, was marked by jubilant scenes.

In his address to the crowd, he condemned the APC for its failures, urging voters to reject the ruling party in the forthcoming election.
“The APC has brought nothing but hardship and misery to our people,” Ibrahim stated.

Ajayi’s presence further energised the gathering, with supporters chanting his name and expressing confidence in his ability to lead Ondo State to a brighter future.
