A group, Ifo Lokan 2027 Movement, has appealed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State to zone the 2027 House of Representatives ticket for the Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency to Ifo local government in the interest of fairness and party cohesion.
The spokesperson of the group and leader of APC in Ifo local government, Femi Akala stated this on Tuesday while submitting there letter addressed to the state Party Chairman, Yemi Sanusi, at the party secretariat in Abeokuta.
The group congratulated the APC leadership on its re-election and called for equitable representation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The movement said the appeal was part of efforts to promote inclusiveness and balance between the two local governments that made up the constituency.
According to the group, Ewekoro local government has held the House of Representatives seat for about 16 years since 1999 through Bamidele Obadina (2007–2011) and Ibrahim Isiaka (2015–2027).
It added that Ifo local government had represented the constituency for 12 years through Abayomi Collins (1999–2007) and Adekunle Adeyemi (2011–2015).
The group noted that Ifo local government has a larger voter population and more polling units, adding that many party loyalists believe the 2027 ticket should be zoned to the area.
It also said the appeal aligns with provisions of the APC constitution, which emphasise fairness, equity and balanced distribution of opportunities within the party.
The movement expressed optimism that zoning the seat to Ifo would strengthen unity and reinforce trust among party members across the constituency.
It reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the party and promoting peaceful engagement as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
