Addressing participants at the gathering, Abioye expressed appreciation to leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state for honouring the invitation despite their tight schedules. He specifically thanked ward chairmen, local government leaders and party faithful who attended the programme.

According to Abioye, the initiative was part of his personal commitment to giving back to society and supporting residents during the holy month of Ramadan.

He explained that the food bank packages were distributed to ease the burden on families observing the Ramadan fast and to encourage prayers for peace and political success ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Akinwemimo conveyed greetings from the state chairman and urged party members to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the governorship election scheduled for August 15, 2026. He encouraged them to support the APC candidate and remain committed to the party’s vision for development in the state.

He also described Abioye as a grassroots politician who has consistently contributed to youth development and political mobilization in the state, urging constituents to support his aspirations.

Among dignitaries present at the programme were the APC Youth Leader, Ibrahim Akinwemimo, representing the state chairman; APC Publicity Secretary Hon. Wole; State Welfare Officer Hon. Bamgbade Bukandi; the Assistant Auditor of the party; Hon Abiodun Ashabi; and Hon. Kamil Oyedele, former member House of Assembly.
