The event drew hundreds of attendees, who accompanied the former lawmaker in a procession to the residence of a prominent APC Ijesa South leader, Pa Kunle Odeyemi, the venue of the official declaration.

Speaking at the event, Hon. L B Ayeni reaffirmed his commitment to public service, emphasizing his longstanding connection with the people and noting that he is widely known across Ijesa South and beyond. According to him, his years of dedication and loyalty to the party, coupled with his contributions to grassroots development, position him as a deserving candidate for the role. He noted that he has “paid his dues” and expressed confidence that his hard work and perseverance would be recognized by the party leadership.
   
Hon. L. B. Ayeni also reiterated his commitment to the AMBO governorship bid, calling on party members and supporters to work assiduously toward ensuring AMBO’s emergence in the party’s forthcoming process on August 15.
Several party leaders spoke in support of his aspiration. Hon. Alarape described Hon. L. B. Ayeni as a committed party man who remained steadfast even after previous electoral setbacks. He highlighted Ayeni’s generosity and consistent support for party activities, adding that it would be unjust if he is denied the party’s ticket.

Hon. Kujembola, while acknowledging the competitive nature of the race—with about twelve aspirants vying for the position—noted that the final decision rests with party leaders. He also prayed for divine guidance in the process and for Ayeni’s aspirations to be fulfilled.
     
In his remarks, Pa Odeyemi appreciated the strong turnout of supporters and encouraged them to intensify grassroots mobilization efforts, particularly as August 15 approaches. He expressed personal confidence in Hon. L. B. Ayeni’s capability.
   

 The event concluded with prayers and renewed calls for unity within the party as the selection process draws nearer.
