The rocky city of Idanre stood still on Thursday, March 28, 2024 as the Adefisoye Political Family officially declared support for the governorship aspiration of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

He also emphatically assured the crowd that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa would record a landslide victory in both the primary and general elections in Idanre Local Government Area.
Adefisoye, lamented that APC had failed to win National Assembly election in Idanre since year 2025; but promised to reverse the trend. He equally assured that strenuous efforts would be made to unite all members of APC in Idanre after the primary election.
“I want to assure you that by the grace of God, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa will win the primary election of next month.

They are your brothers and sisters and we are all one big APC family. But those that are supporting governorship aspirants of the opposition parties are our political opponents”.
