The African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has on Tuesday stormed the ancient town of Ile-Ife to spearhead the mega rally for the party’s candidate for the August Gubernatorial Election, Najeem Salam.
Aregbesola was received by excited party faithfuls who awaited the arrival of the former Osun state governor.
In reaction to the warm reception, Aregbesola thrilled the crowd with his dance steps as a group of traditional chiefs serenaded him with tunes from locally fabricated bells.
The former Minister of Interior further geared the party members with solidarity songs.
Waiting outside the hall accommodating Aregbesola and other leaders of the ADC were thousands of supporters with branded ADC caps, shirts, and flags.
The massive crowd further intensified the competition for the governorship seat with incumbent governor and Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke.
Also contending alongside Salam for the seat is the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
