The Oyo State Police Command has announced comprehensive security arrangements ahead of the 2025 Peoples Democratic Party National Convention scheduled to hold on Saturday, 15 November, and Sunday, 16 November, at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan.
In a statement shared on X on Friday and dated 13 November 2025, the Command’s spokesperson, CSP Osifeso Adewale, said the police were “ramping up security measures to guarantee a safe and peaceful event,” noting that the convention is expected to host key political figures, international observers, media personnel, guests and party delegates from across the country.
According to the release, the Command has developed “a robust security strategy” in collaboration with other security agencies in anticipation of a large turnout. The plan includes proactive patrols aimed at boosting public confidence, heightened surveillance operations, and intelligence-driven stop-and-search activities across the state.
Security is expected to be even tighter at entry and exit points into Oyo State, particularly around Adamasingba, while critical locations such as public parks, train stations, and the Samuel Ladoke Akintola International Airport in Ibadan will receive increased monitoring.
To minimise traffic disruptions during the two-day convention, residents have been urged to adjust their movement schedules and make use of alternative routes. The police cautioned against any conduct capable of breaching public peace, warning that unauthorised rallies or gatherings before, during or after the event would not be tolerated.
Reassuring the public of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property, the Command called on residents to comply with safety guidelines and support efforts to maintain a peaceful atmosphere throughout the convention.
Citizens were also encouraged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security authorities. The public can reach the Oyo State Call Response Centre via the toll-free line 615, or contact the Police Command Control
