The rally, which took place as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wrapped up its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise ahead of the 2026/2027 polls, drew participants from Boluwaduro, Ifedayo, and Ila-Orangun councils.

The women gathered first at the Ila-Orangun family residence of former Governor Chief Bisi Akande before marching through key parts of the town, including Ile-Obalumon, Oke-Ede, Oja, Ita Aperin, Ajegunle, Ile Obasolo, Ile Oloye, Ile-Aseda, and Afin.

Organised under the platform “AIO’s Women” and coordinated by Mrs Tawakalt Suleiman, the group later joined the House of Representatives hopeful at the Orangun of Ila’s palace, where the rally continued under security supervision.

Suleiman said the mobilisation was part of efforts to drum up support for President Bola Tinubu, the APC governorship candidate, and Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin ahead of the elections, adding that the group had been actively engaging voters through door-to-door campaigns and CVR mobilisation.

Adeniyi, speaking at the APC secretariat, expressed confidence in an APC victory, citing strong grassroots mobilisation by youths and women across the constituency.

He added that residents of the three councils were eager for change and would support the party in the 2026 elections, while urging continued grassroots campaigning across wards and polling units.
