One of the speakers at the event, identified as Chief Matthew Ijaduola, hinted that Ajibuwa stands as a strategic answer to the needs of the people, describing him as a leader shaped by grassroots realities and strengthened through institutional and national exposure.

He stated, “His leadership journey reflects consistency and growth: from President of the Okeagbe Students Union, where he championed students welfare, unity and responsible administration. His national experience as a member of the Nigerian Youth Parliament, representing Ondo North Senatorial district further sharpened his understanding of governance and policy engagement.

“His people’s first agenda is clear and intentional. Ajibuwa is committed to ensuring that no student in Akoko North West will have to travel long distances to write examinations. He has made it a priority that communities in the constituency must have functional ICT centres where students can conveniently register and sit for examinations like JAMB within their community,” Ijaduola remarked.
