Hon Olaleye urged stakeholders’ community leaders, youth groups, and market associations in Ibadan North to stand firmly with the PDP, noting that the party has demonstrated commitment to grassroots development under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde.
He commended Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle for his track record in youth empowerment, educational support, and community service, describing him as “a dependable representative who will carry the voice of Ibadan North to the National Assembly.”
