More than 2,000 women from three local government areas in Osun State have staged a rally in Ila-Orangun in support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Bola
More than 2,000 women from three local government areas in Osun State have staged a rally in Ila-Orangun in support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), and House of Representatives hopeful, Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin.
The rally, held as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) concluded its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise ahead of the 2026/2027 elections, drew participants from Boluwaduro, Ifedayo, and Ila-Orangun local councils.
The women converged at the family residence of former governor Chief Bisi Akande before marching through major areas of the town, including Ile-Obalumon, Oke-Ede, Complex, Oja, Ita Aperin, Ajegunle, Ile Obasolo, Ile Oloye, Ile-Aseda, and Afin.
The group, under the aegis of AIO’s Women and led by its coordinator, Mrs Tawakalt Suleiman, later joined the House of Representatives hopeful at the palace of the Orangun of Ila, continuing the rally under security supervision.
Speaking during the event, Suleiman said the mobilisation aimed at canvassing support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC governorship candidate, and Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin ahead of the forthcoming elections.
“We have been engaging the electorate in door-to-door campaigns and mobilising new voters for the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR), which ended yesterday (Saturday). This rally solidifies our commitment to the APC.”

Similarly, Adeniyi, while addressing the women group at the APC secretariat, boasted that “with the massive mobilisation of new electorate for CVR and door-to-door campaign by youths and women, we are sure that APC will win this federal constituency landslide.”
He said, “The people in these three councils are tired of the incumbent government of Osun State; they anticipate the progressive administration that will be elected on August 15th, 2026.”
Adeniyi urged the women to continue the door-to-door campaign in their respective polling units, wards, and local areas, assuring them that every needed logistical support would be provided to make the exercise successful.
