“Ondo State will give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 1.2 million votes in 2027. We are not just making noise, we are speaking with our PVCs. From Ilaje to Akoko, the message is one: Tinubu again,” Faduyile declared.
He said the Tinubu administration had restored hope to Nigerians through bold economic reforms, infrastructural renewal, improved security and youth empowerment, noting that Ondo South in particular will be a harvest ground of votes to show that in the South APC has a strong holding.
The Senator urged party members to close ranks, mobilise at the unit, ward and local government levels, and ensure that every eligible voter in the state collects his or her PVC ahead of the election.
“We must not relax. This is not the time for division. This is the time for unity, mobilisation and total victory for APC. Ondo must lead, Ondo must deliver,” he said.
The rally was witnessed 
by top APC leaders, National Assembly members, House of Assembly members, local government chairmen, women and youth groups, who took turns to pledge their loyalty and commitment to the re-election of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.
The atmosphere at the stadium remained electrifying as supporters sang, danced and chanted “Tinubu again! Shettima again! APC again,” slogan.
Speaking with Paul Oniyemofe, the DG of Senator Faduyile’s PDF Movement, he noted that the supporters of the Ondo South Senator,Prof.Dayo Faduyile thronged the Akure airport in solidarity to welcome the Vice President,Alhaji Shetima and the whole gamut of the national leadership of the APC who are in Ondo State to campaign for the re election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice presidential candidate.
“You have heard the fact from Senator Faduyile that Ondo State is not ceding an inch to the opposition. As far as Ondo State is concerned there is no opposition; we do mainstream politics in Ondo State and our political view aligns with the center and for this purpose it’s going to be a massive vote harvest for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and All Progressives Congress, APC come January 2027 General election,” Oniyemofe affirmed.
