In an historic display of a strong political bond, Otunba Seye Famojuro, closest ally of Oyo state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde—alongside prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Oloye Akinade Fijabi, made a bold entrance into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention venue at the Lekan Salami stadium.
Eyewitnesses described the moment as “electrifying” as Oloye Fijabi—walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Otunba Famojuro through the Lekan Salami stadium, drawing cheers from delegates, observers, and many Nigerians from far and near.
The APC heavyweight remained seated throughout the entire convention—from its opening to its ending. Sources close to the APC chieftain confirmed he observed every session with keen interest, and engaging in hushed conversations with PDP leaders. This is believed to be unprecedented in the ongoing political season— An APC leader of Oloye Fijabi’s status spending the entire day at PDP’s convention. “This is not politics—this is a clear message to Nigerians”, many observers remarked.
The rare political sight has been widely described to be the death of partisan bitterness and the birth of a national rescue”. Oloye Fijabi was believed by many observers to have attended the People’s Democratic Party’s convention as a Nigerian who knows the country is in crisis.
The cross-party gesture has ignited fierce debates across political circles, as most political elites described Fijabi’s presence as a clear political message to Nigerians at all levels.
An observer, speaking anonymously, said:
“This is the beginning of something bigger. The APC’s time may soon be ending. Leaders like Oloye Fijabi are crossing over—not just physically, but ideologically”.
As Nigeria battles economic hardship, insecurity, and institutional decay, the #Ibadan2025 PDP convention sent a powerful signal: the PDP is not just opposition—it is the last bastion of hope for the nation. With thousands of delegates in attendance and global attention on the party’s restructuring, the presence of an APC titan like Oloye Fijabi underscores one undeniable truth—when the nation bleeds, real leaders put party aside, and joins hands to salvage the nation.
The PDP has spoken through its convention. And the rescue mission has begun.
