Chief Ajayi who promised to join hands with Oba Adejugbe in the development of Odo-Ado community, Ado Ekiti and the state at large admonished the people to work towards a rancour and violence-free polls.
“As one of the community leaders in the state, my advice to the people of my community and Ekiti state generally is to conduct themselves peacefully during and after the poll.
“They should avoid stoking violence, all manners of brigandage and vote for the candidates of their choice. That is the only way we can get the development we are yearning for”.
Speaking on his emergence from the seven available houses with the right to produce the Oisa, Ajayi thanked all chieftaincy houses and the leader of all the families, Chief George Adepoju for their support during the selection process.
“I thank all members of the seven houses in Inisa, Odo-Ado and the overall family leader. I want to appeal to all aggrieved parties to put our differences behind and support me in the quest to develop the community and Ekiti at large”.
On his plans as the leader of the community, he said, ” Before I became the Chief, I have been involved in the development of the community, this I will continue to do building love and togetherness.
