Today marked the official flag-off of the much-anticipated campaign for the upcoming local government election, beginning with a powerful and inspiring start. The procession kicked off from the AFO Campaign Office at 11:15 a.m., with a historic visit to the palace of His Royal Majesty, the Akarigbo of Remoland, Kabiyesi Ajayi Adewale Babatunde.
The campaign committee, party dignitaries, leadership, and councilorship candidates were received warmly by the revered paramount ruler, setting a tone of respect, unity, and purpose for the day’s activities.
Hon. Arole Azeez Bello, the Campaign Director General, gave a warm opening remark, expressing the campaign team’s appreciation for the Kabiyesi's blessings. Hon. Bello introduced each party dignitary, leader, and candidate present, recognizing the importance of the palace's support for a successful campaign. Ogbeni Afolabi Odulate (AFO), the eloquent and dedicated Chairmanship candidate, then addressed the gathering, reflecting on the achievements of his previous term.
He highlighted improvements across infrastructure, employment, social amenities, and community well-being, all accomplished despite limited resources. AFO gratefully acknowledged the vital role the Kabiyesi’s prayers played in the past administration’s success and humbly sought his blessing and continued support for this new term.
The Kabiyesi, smiling graciously, praised the campaign team’s coordination and professionalism, affirming his commitment to the progress of Sagamu and emphasizing that leadership is a call to serve. His Royal Majesty extended heartfelt prayers for the success of the campaign, encouraging unity and prioritizing Sagamu’s development above all. The campaign team and attendees left the palace energized, with spirits high and a renewed sense of purpose.
From there, the team moved on to Ward One, where an overwhelming turnout awaited. The crowd was vibrant, uncountable, and extraordinarily organized, dressed uniformly in support of the party. People from all walks of life came out in coordinated, amiable unity, filling the streets with cheers and singing in a show of immense support. Their enthusiasm was contagious, further fueled by the party leadership’s encouragement to stand strong and vote APC on November 16, 2024.
The campaign then continued to Ward Fifteen, where an even larger crowd of residents and party members joyously welcomed the candidates and leaders. Excitement was in the air as community members celebrated, chanting songs of support and expressing unwavering loyalty to the party and its candidates. The day’s tour culminated back at the campaign office, with a sense of achievement and gratitude for the overwhelming show of love and unity from the community.
Today’s campaign kick-off was nothing short of exceptional, laying a strong foundation for the road ahead. With unwavering support and an enthusiastic turnout, Sagamu has signaled its readiness to continue moving forward under Team AFO’s steady, inclusive, and progressive leadership.
