 Toyin Alabi Gains Support from APC Stakeholders in Ifelodun

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ile-Ire, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, have declared their support for the governorship ambition of Dr. Oluwatoyin Tajudeen Alabi (AOT), describing him as a credible and visionary leader capable of transforming the state.

The endorsement was made during a meeting attended by party members, community leaders and supporters in the Ile-Ire community.

Speaking at the gathering, the APC Chairman in Ile-Ire, Mr. Olumide Ogunbiyi, said the community was impressed by Dr. Alabi’s vision and developmental agenda for Kwara State.

According to him, Dr. Alabi possesses the leadership qualities, competence and integrity needed to usher in a new era of development, inclusiveness and prosperity in the state.

“We have resolved, after listening to you, to adopt you as our candidate and support your emergence as the next governor of Kwara State,” Ogunbiyi said.

“Our careful assessment of your record in community service, philanthropy and leadership in the private sector is a testament to your quality and preparedness to lead the state."

He, however, appealed to the governorship aspirant to assist the community in rehabilitating its roads to improve access to Ilorin and neighbouring communities.

“We sincerely appeal to you to help rehabilitate our roads in order to improve movement to Ilorin and surrounding communities,” he added.

In his remarks, Dr. Alabi reiterated his commitment to transforming Kwara State through his proposed seven-point agenda focused on security, free and compulsory world-class education, quality healthcare, agricultural revolution, modern infrastructure, tourism development and inclusive prosperity.

He stated that politics should be driven by service, vision and commitment to the welfare of the people rather than personal interests.

“A greater Kwara is possible if we work together with sincerity, unity and the fear of God,” he said.

Dr. Alabi also urged party members and residents to support his governorship aspiration, describing it as “God’s agenda” for the people of Kwara State.

Earlier in the day, the APC stalwart attended an intercessory prayer session at the Igbomina House organised by the Christian wing for peace, security and development in Igbomina land. 

The prayer session was by the executive, led by Sir Bisi Fakayode and attended by several clerics, including Rev. Dr. R. I. Ibitoye, Rev. Dr. S. O. Olanrewaju, Rev. Moses Babatunde and Rev. G. Olaoye.

Special prayers were offered for peace, security, restoration of deserted communities in Igbomina land, as well as political relevance and electoral success for Igbomina candidates in future elections.

Dr. Alabi also visited the Church of Ascension, Bishop’s Court, Fate Road, Ilorin, where he received an award alongside other recipients from the Delight Elites Christian Association.

Speaking at the event, he appreciated the organisers for the recognition and support for his aspiration, while urging Nigerians not to lose hope in the country but to continue praying for the nation and its leaders.

The governorship aspirant further attended a seminar organised by the National Association of Nigerian Mathematical Science Students (NANMSS), University of Ilorin Chapter, where he was honoured with an award of recognition.

As part of his support for education, Dr. Alabi donated N100,000 to the winner of the secondary school quiz competition held during the seminar.

He also addressed the students on his education agenda for Kwara State, receiving applause from participants at the crowded lecture theatre of the University of Ilorin.
