By Boye Oyeyemi

The Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Olukayode Ajulo, has assured elderly citizens attending Wednesday’s All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Akure of adequate security and welfare arrangements.

Ajulo, who chairs the Legal Committee of the Ondo State APC Presidential Campaign Council, gave the assurance in a statement, urging older party members and grassroots supporters not to miss the rally because of their age.

He said the event had been designed to accommodate supporters across all age groups, adding that measures had been put in place to ensure the comfort and safety of elderly participants.

According to him, President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, alongside other party leaders, are expected to receive participants at the rally.

Ajulo described the gathering as an opportunity for Tinubu to reconnect with the people of Ondo State, whom he said had demonstrated overwhelming support for the President during the 2023 presidential election.

He added that security agencies had been deployed to strategic locations across the state to protect attendees and ensure the smooth conduct of activities surrounding the rally.

The attorney-general also expressed excitement over the influx of visitors into the state ahead of the event, saying he was impressed by the number of air passengers arriving in Akure, particularly Ondo indigenes living in other parts of the country and abroad.

He therefore urged residents, especially elderly party members, to turn out in large numbers, describing the rally as an opportunity for both young and old to demonstrate their support for the president.
