The rally commenced at the Emir’s Palace, Ilorin, where an overwhelming crowd gathered early, creating an atmosphere filled with excitement, chants, and clear demonstrations of loyalty to the party. The turnout reflected a renewed sense of unity and readiness among members across the state.
In a symbolic display of solidarity, participants moved in a procession from the Emir’s Palace through major parts of the city to the Banquet Hall, Ilorin, where the main event was held. The movement drew attention from residents and further amplified the presence and visibility of the party.
At the Banquet Hall, party stakeholders addressed the energized crowd, stressing the need for unity, discipline, and sustained grassroots mobilization. Speakers charged members to remain committed to the ideals of the party and to work collectively towards delivering victory in the coming elections.
Speaking at the rally, Ambassador AbdulFatai Yahaya Seriki urged party members to remain loyal, committed, and resolute in their support for the APC. He emphasized the importance of collective effort in delivering victory for the party in the forthcoming elections, noting that the APC has earned continued support based on the unprecedented achievements recorded under the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq.
In his remarks, Rep. Muktar Tolani Shagaya expressed confidence in the party’s electoral strength, stating that the APC remains the most viable platform to secure victory in the 2027 elections.
