Abimbola Adekanmbi, on Tuesday continued his statewide thank-you tour with visits to Surulere and Ogo-Oluwa Local Government Areas, where he reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive governance and grassroots-driven development.
Accompanied by his running mate, Hon. Muftau Open-Salawu, Adekanmbi received a warm reception from party faithful, community leaders and residents, who gathered to welcome the APM delegation.
Addressing stakeholders during the tour, the APM standard-bearer expressed appreciation for the confidence and support shown to him by party members and the electorate, assuring them that an APM-led administration would prioritise the needs and aspirations of communities across the state.
Adekanmbi highlighted his record in public service, recalling his tenure as Chairman of the Community and Social Development Agency (CSDA) in Oyo State, where he said he coordinated several community-driven development projects across Surulere, Ogo-Oluwa and other parts of the state.
