In Nigeria, our political climate is often defined by familiar names and recycled promises. However, the emergence of Hon. Jenriyi Osinowo in the race for the House of Representatives is beginning to stir a different kind of belief across Ijebu North, Ijebu East and Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency. It is not just that Osinowo is seeking office on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Rather, it is the story behind his aspiration, which is rooted in years of noiseless community engagement, youth support initiatives and grassroots interventions, which has positioned him as a giant figure to reckon with in the unfolding political narrative ahead of 2027. For as many people within the riverine and agrarian communities that make up the constituency, Osinowo is not a stranger to their struggles. Even before declaring his ambition, he had built a reputation as a private citizen deeply involved in local development efforts, intervening where government presence w...

To: His Excellency, Dapo Abiodun, CON Governor, Ogun State The Leadership of the All Progressives Congress, Ogun State Chapter Your Excellency and Distinguished Leaders, We write with utmost respect and a strong sense of civic responsibility regarding the ongoing conversations about rotational representation in Yewa North Isokan State Constituency I. Recent appeals have rightly raised the question of equity among the zones within the constituency. Yet it is important to state clearly that equity without fairness cannot produce balance. True equity requires that attention be given not only to zones but also to the wards within those zones that have consistently been left out of representation. Yewa North Isokan State Constituency I is made up of seven wards: Idofoi, Ayetoro Ward I, Ayetoro Ward II, Sunwa, Joga/Ibooro, Imasayi, and Ibeshe. Over the course of democratic governance since 1999, several of these wards have had the opportunity to produce representatives at the Ogu...
