The Push for Equitable Power Rotation

A coalition known as "Stakeholders for Equity and Fairness" has initiated a strategic campaign to ensure the 2027 legislative ticket for the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency is zoned to Ifedore. Represented by leaders including Akinbami Henry and Bamisile Adebowale, the group argues that historical precedent since 1999 supports a pattern where each local government serves two four-year terms. The stakeholders warned that failing to rotate power after the current cycle could lead to twelve years of concentrated representation for a single region, a move they claim mirrors national concerns regarding regional inclusivity and balanced representation.

Mitigating Internal Party Divisions

The stakeholders' intervention comes at a time of significant internal friction within the Idanre political landscape. The constituency is currently divided between two dominant blocs led by Hon. Festus Akingbaso and Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye. In a press statement signed by Adewale Adejayan, the group cautioned the APC leadership that awarding the 2027 ticket to either of these factions in Idanre could trigger protest votes and internal sabotage. They position a shift to Ifedore as a necessary stabilizing measure to prevent electoral defeat and foster party cohesion ahead of the general elections.

Endorsement of Prince Aderosoye Fadola

In seeking a unifying candidate, the stakeholders have thrown their support behind Prince Aderosoye Fadola, an indigene of Ifedore and a prominent APC member. Fadola’s credentials include serving as the Director-General of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign in 2023, which supporters highlight as evidence of his high-level political experience and loyalty to the party's national objectives. The group described him as a figure capable of bridging the gap between the warring factions in Idanre while providing a fresh perspective for the constituency’s representation in the House of Representatives.
