Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, a leading PDP governorship aspirant in Oyo State, on Tuesday met with executives of the Egbeda Local Government PDP at the party secretariat in Ibadan, promising major upgrades to the facility and reaffirming his commitment to grassroots development.

Arriving with a political convoy, Ajadi expressed concern over the poor state of the secretariat and the discomfort endured by party members during meetings.

“It pains me deeply to see my people holding meetings under heat, using hand fans to cool themselves. This is my local government. I grew up here. I can never be comfortable when my people are uncomfortable,” he said.

Ajadi announced plans to install solar panels to provide a steady electricity supply and to supply sufficient fans before the next executive meeting.

“I will personally ensure this secretariat becomes a model for other local governments. Solar power will be installed before your next meeting, and you will have enough standing fans to hold meetings comfortably—even in the hottest weather,” he added.

In addition to power and ventilation upgrades, Ajadi pledged to repaint the secretariat in PDP colors and provide buses to facilitate executives’ attendance at political functions across the state.

“No executive member of Egbeda should struggle to attend a meeting again within Oyo State. I will make available functional buses that will convey you to any official gathering or assignment,” he assured.

Ajadi also donated a substantial amount to each executive member and distributed 1,000 branded exercise books for the children of party executives, an act described by attendees as thoughtful and symbolic.

Party Executives Praise Ajadi’s Commitment

The meeting turned interactive, with local party leaders commending Ajadi for his humility, accessibility, and dedication to Egbeda.

Chief Ebenezer Olawale Alawe, PDP Chairman for Egbeda, thanked Ajadi, describing him as “a rare politician who remembers home.”

“Ambassador Ajadi has shown today that leadership begins from home. Many politicians forget their roots once they rise, but he keeps returning to lift us. His promises are not just political; they come from the heart,” Alawe said.

Hon. Liadi Busari, Vice Chairman, praised Ajadi’s developmental focus:

“Egbeda needs leaders who think beyond elections. What Ajadi has said today shows he is here to build, not to take. These are the kind of leaders who move local governments forward.”

Elder Noah Funmilayo, party Secretary, encouraged continued grassroots engagement:

“Ambassador, we appreciate your gesture and sincerity. The people know those who identify with them, and they will stand with you at the right time.”

Mrs. T. Abanikanda, Women Leader, acknowledged Ajadi’s support for women in politics:

“Our women are grateful. You have always supported us. May God guide your ambition, and may you never lack helpers as you have helped others,” she prayed.

Mr. Aderemi Oderinlo, Youth Leader, highlighted Ajadi’s inspirational leadership:

“The youths of Egbeda stand solidly behind you. We admire your energy, your vision, and your respect for the younger generation. You have given us hope.”

Mr. Ademola Lawal, Publicity Secretary, praised Ajadi’s service-oriented approach and pledged loyalty:

“Your actions today speak louder than campaign posters. You have shown what governance should look like—service before power. We will continue to support you.”

The meeting concluded with prayers for Ajadi’s ambition and the development of Egbeda Local Government. Party members described his visit as a reassurance that Egbeda will play a pivotal role in shaping the political future of Oyo State.
