The rally, which took place in the Ekiti State capital, drew a large crowd of party supporters and members who turned out in solidarity with the ADC governorship candidate, Oluwadare Abejide.
The event was described by observers as one of the party’s biggest mobilisation efforts in the state ahead of the polls.
Addressing supporters at the rally, former Senate President David Mark expressed confidence in the party’s chances, assuring the governorship candidate of strong backing from the party leadership.
“We will stay with you and accompany you to the Government House,” Mark told the cheering crowd.
