The House of Reps candidate noted that his meeting was to appreciate the young people and women, who encouraged him to contest, supported him to win the primary election, and now he is seeking their mandate to represent them in the green chamber.
He said Nigeria has been brought to its knees and that all efforts must be made to rescue the country, adding that getting this done will require the commitment of everybody.
Ajia said, “If you look at what is happening in Nigeria today, PDP youths can liberate the state and the country at large.
“Party members should understand that they are the candidates, and so, they should put in more effort for the party to win in the upcoming general election.
“What remains now is the polling units’ exercise and harmonization, I urge you to put in all efforts at this time to deliver all the candidates of our party.

“You should improve your efforts at polling units; you should form stakeholders of not less than 10 people and give them the task to secure a total number of supporters in each polling unit.”
He maintained that only PDP has a strong political structure, thus, party members should vote for all the candidates from the federal to the state levels.
“When PDP takes over Nigeria, Kwara and all levels of government, things will change for the better,” he said.
“If Atiku wins in Kwara; we will have a say, based on a cordial relationship between Atiku and Saraki.”
Earlier, the chairman of the Constituency, Alhaji Ibrahim Majo, had appreciated the candidate for making the party proud.
A member, Lukman Saad, said that the major challenge confronting young people in their area is unemployment, adding that they have mobilised the young people for increased support for the party but they needed someone that will be representing them.
In his submission, Hon Ataragba, chairman committee on media for the constituency appealed to Ajia to ensure that local government autonomy comes to stay, calling for the provision of means of transport for them to join his campaign trail.
Similarly, the chairman committee on empowerment, Professor Saka Salman who said they had looked forward to a day like this to interact with the reps candidate; sought support from Ajia on his proposed empowerment scheme.
