Speaking at the rally, Oyo APC Chairman, Alhaji Olayide Abass, commended party members in Ogbomoso for their loyalty and organisational strength, urging sustained unity and intensified grassroots engagement. Senator Teslim Folarin, in his keynote address, called on party members to take the Renewed Hope Agenda to the grassroots, expressing confidence that the APC would record total victory in 2027.

The rally culminated in the formal endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, as well as the reception of hundreds of defectors from opposition parties across Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, Oriire, Ogo-Oluwa and Surulere local government areas.
The event ended with renewed calls for unity, peace and sustained mobilisation as the APC intensifies efforts to return to power in Oyo State in 2027.
