In a bid to strengthen the structure of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and promote unity among members in Oluyole Local Government, the Chairman of the party, Comrade Adekunle Samson, convened a strategic meeting with party members on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at Olomi Primary School 2, Academy Area, Olomi, Ibadan.
The meeting brought together party stakeholders and loyal members who engaged in a robust and heartfelt political discussion centered on the growth of the party and the overall development of Oluyole Local Government.
While addressing members during the meeting, the Chairman emphasized the importance of unity within the party. He noted that the ADC in Oluyole Local Government would not tolerate divisional groups or factional politics, stressing that any political differences occurring at other levels should not be allowed to affect the unity and progress of the party at the local government level.
According to him, the party remains committed to building a strong and united political family. He therefore called on members and new supporters to join the party with sincerity, love, and a shared vision for progress.
The Chairman also urged members to ensure they possess their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) and actively mobilize residents within their communities to obtain both their voter’s cards and membership cards of the African Democratic Congress. He further informed members that the ongoing voter registration exercise, particularly in Ward 7, provides an opportunity for eligible citizens to register and prepare to participate in the 2027 general elections.
