Leaders of the party in all the five (5) local governments in the district, including the Deputy Governor and the party's interim chairman, Chief Jide Awe were all in attendance.
On hand to add verve to the occasion were well-dressed female members of the party whose politically stimulating sonorous songs filled the air.
The youth wing of the party were also not left out in adding colour to the occasion.
Addressing the crowd, Ekiti APC Interim Chairman, Chief Jide Awe, urged party members to buckle up for the task ahead, adding that they must win more converts to the party on a daily basis.
"We are on the final lap of the revolution which has started since 2007 and we are not looking back. Whoever is not following this train will remain permanently at the bus-stop. Our government will continue to cater for the people. We will continue to give our best. We will continue to listen to our people. We have gotten to the rubicon and we are going to cross it and when we cross it, you and I will enjoy it," said Awe.
Speaking on the occasion, the Deputy Governor, Professor Modupe Adelabu, listed the achievements of the Fayemi administration and promised that more dividends of good governance await Ekiti people as the administration is aware of the sanctity of promises.
Professor Adelabu said the Fayemi administration had fulfilled its electioneering promises to the people and that it would relentlessly continue to work for the progress of the masses and the overall development of the state.
Representatives of the five (5) local governments making up the senatorial district also declared the support of their respective local governments for the re-election of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, adding that the governor had made them proud, hence their unanimous support for the continuation of the good works of the administration.
Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, who spoke on behalf of Ado Local Government, said indigenes of the state capital are grateful to the Fayemi administration for the unprecedented transformation of their town.
He urged the people to be vigilant as the opposition is skilled in the art of lying and mudslinging, hence the need to sift through all information to know which is true or false.
The representative of Irepodun/Ifelodun, Chief George Ojo, became a little dramatic as he narrated in Ekiti dialect the story of a little boy who suddenly wakes up demanding that he must be appeased with two pieces of bean-cake at once.
"If others who woke up before him had been taking two pieces of bean-cake at once, would the little boy have met any bean-cake on ground to fight for?" he asked.
Chief Ojo said the people of Iyin-Ekiti and Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government are neither greedy nor ungrateful and that they are solidly behind Governor Fayemi.
He said: "If a child is not greedy, a cow's head should be enough for him as breakfast."
He added that whoever was doubtful about the acceptability of APC in both wards in Iyin-Ekiti should visit the town to witness the ward meetings of all the political parties and independently decide on which is most popular.
Other people who spoke on behalf of their local governments are Professor Igbalajobi (Efon), Pastor Egbeyemi (Ijero) and Akogun Tai Oguntayo (Ekiti West).
