Speaking at the event, Ajayi described the initiative as part of his continuous support for the administration of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, noting that the programme was designed to put smiles on the faces of women and deepen grassroots support for good governance.

“This OWO BAO initiative is about sharing love, joy and fulfilment with our women, no matter how small,” Ajayi said. “Politics is about service and investment in the people. I am doing this in support of the people-oriented agenda of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, whose leadership has brought unity, peace and inclusiveness to Ekiti State.”

He praised Governor Oyebanji for creating a political environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging. “What we are witnessing today in Ekiti has never happened before. Governor Oyebanji has eliminated bitterness and unhealthy political rivalry, replacing it with unity and collective development,” he added.

Ajayi also expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and commended the Elemure of Emure-Ekiti, Oba James Babatunde Ajiboye, for fostering unity among political leaders in the local government.

Earlier, several APC leaders took turns to commend Ajayi’s consistency and commitment to the party and community development.
