The Chairman of Ado West Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Adebolu Aladesanmi, on Monday, June 8, 2026, distributed palliative materials to residents as part of efforts to support vulnerable members of the community.
The distribution programme, held at the Local Government Registry, Isato, beneficiaries are, elderly citizens, low-income earners, and other vulnerable households. Beneficiaries received food items and essential materials aimed at easing economic hardship and improving their welfare.
Addressing residents at the event, Hon. Aladesanmi urged the people to support Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election. He noted that the increased turnout recorded during the exercise was made possible through the support of the governor.
The chairman also announced the payment of two months’ arrears of the Owo Arugbo stipend to beneficiaries, alongside the distribution of food items to selected residents across the wards.
According to him, the initiative demonstrates the council’s commitment to responsive and people-oriented governance.
“This is our way of showing that we see you, we hear you, and we remain committed to prioritising your welfare,” he said, assuring residents that the programme would continue throughout his second term in office.
Speaking at the event, the Ekiti State APC Chairman, Hon. Sola Eleshin, commended Hon. Aladesanmi for revitalising and sustaining the Owo Arugbo scheme. He called on residents to come out en masse to vote for the APC, stressing that every vote would be crucial to the party’s success.
Hon. Eleshin disclosed that Ado Local Government has about 89,000 registered voters and challenged party supporters to deliver at least 85,000 votes in the election. He maintained that Ado, being the state capital, should set the pace for other local government areas across the state.
He further described the APC as a party open to all and urged members to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the polls.
Also speaking, the APC Chairman in Ado Local Government, Hon. Mike Akinleye, appealed to residents to continue praying for the progress of Governor Oyebanji’s administration. He reminded voters that their votes matter and advised them to contact party agents should they encounter any difficulties during the election.
The Chairman of Ado Local Government, Hon. Chief Bosun Osaloni, also encouraged residents to vote for the APC, describing it as the best way to support the government and the developmental efforts of the Ado West LCDA administration. He assured beneficiaries that the palliative distribution would cut across all eligible recipients.
Beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the council leadership for the intervention and appealed for the programme to be sustained to cushion the effects of prevailing economic challenges.
