As early as 8 a.m. on Saturday, the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba venue of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 2025 convention, had become a beehive of activities as party loyalists trooped into the arena.
A retinue of security agents was stationed at strategic points to maintain law and order.
Despite Thursday’s ruling of a Federal High Court in Abuja stopping the convention, the massive turnout appears unaffected, with crowds continuing to pour into the stadium.
Vanguard gathered that party supporters from the South-East, North, and South-West had arrived in Ibadan and secured accommodation in various hotels across the metropolis.
