Chesterfield describes the visit as an important occasion for the PDP in Oyo State, noting that the presence of the national leadership and other distinguished party stakeholders provides an opportunity to strengthen institutional relationships, reinforce party unity and reaffirm the importance of collective participation in the political process.

He particularly welcomes the National Chairman, Hon.

According to Chesterfield, Oyo State remains an important political centre, and the decision to host the gathering at Mapo Hall, one of Ibadan’s most recognisable landmarks, presents an opportunity for party members and stakeholders to come together in a spirit of solidarity and shared responsibility.

He calls on PDP members across the 33 local government areas of Oyo State, particularly state, local government and ward executives, to demonstrate their commitment by attending the event and arriving early. All party chairmen have been enjoined to be seated before 10:00 a.m.

He also extends an invitation to members of the public, party supporters and other stakeholders to participate in the occasion.

Chesterfield expresses optimism that the gathering will provide an opportunity for renewed engagement among party members and reinforce the importance of unity, organisation and collective participation within the PDP.

He concludes by warmly welcoming the national leadership and all invited dignitaries to the ancient city of Ibadan, wishing them a pleasant and memorable stay in Oyo State.
