A coalition of constituents, under the banner of the Ifo Lokan 2027 MHR Movement, has rejected the fourth-term bid of a serving House of Representatives member for Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency in Ogun State, Ibrahim Isiaka, declaring that “the time has come for fairness, equity and justice to prevail.”

The group’s Spokesman, Femi Akala, said this yesterday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Abeokuta, where he led hundreds of constituents to submit a petition to the party’s leadership.

The petition, addressed to the Ogun State Chairman of the APC, Yemi Sanusi, was received by Administrative Secretary of the party, Segun Bankole.

The Movement made its position clear on zoning, insisting that “the 2027 House of Representatives seat for the Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency must be zoned to Ifo Local Council.”

The members, however, rejected any extension of the incumbent’s stay, saying that “such a move would contradict the principles of inclusion, equity and justice that the party upholds.”

They emphasised that their agitation was not confrontational, but a demand that fairness and inclusiveness should guide the party’s decisions.

They also warned against ignoring the call for power shift.

Akala said: “Zoning the seat to Ifo would not diminish the partnership between the two local councils, rather, it would strengthen trust, reinforce party’s unity, and sustain long-term cohesion within the constituency.

“We submit this appeal letter with the utmost respect, mindful of your wisdom and leadership. The voices rising from Ifo are not voices of protest but voices of hope that the party’s long-standing principles of fairness and inclusiveness will guide its decisions as preparations for the 2027 elections progress.

“Once again, we congratulate you on your re-election and assure you of our continued loyalty and constructive engagement in the service of our great party.”
