Honourable Abayomi Fagbenro, popularly known as Bibire has appealed to his supporters to remain calm and prayerful ahead of the rescheduled Peoples Democratic Party meeting slated for Thursday, April 23, 2026.

The appeal followed the outcome of a high level meeting convened by Governor Seyi Makinde to facilitate the emergence of candidates for various elective positions across the state.

At the meeting, decisions were reached for some constituencies, but deliberations concerning Oyo South Senatorial District and Ibadan Northwest Ibadan Southwest Federal Constituency were stepped aside.

Sources at the meeting disclosed that the governor observed certain issues that required further consultations, leading to the decision to reconvene and continue the process on Thursday.

Addressing his supporters shortly after the development, Bibire urged them to remain peaceful, focused, and committed to the party.
