Homefront Solidarity: Igbemo Ekiti Unites Behind Hakeem Jamiu’s Third-Term Ambition
The political landscape of Irepodun/Ifelodun Constituency II has undergone a significant transformation as Rt. Hon. Hakeem Jamiu’s bid for a third term in the Ekiti State House of Assembly received a definitive boost from his ancestral roots. In a strategic display of homefront solidarity, the community of Igbemo Ekiti has formally adopted the former Deputy Speaker as its consensus candidate. This endorsement, driven by influential leaders and stakeholders from the Ijabo clan and surrounding quarters, moves beyond a standard political backing, with the community now framing Jamiu’s re-election as a vital “collective project” essential for the town’s continued growth and influence.
The decision to unite behind Jamiu was rooted in a rigorous, performance based evaluation of his previous tenures. Local stakeholders emphasized that his track record in the Assembly and his high-ranking service as Deputy Speaker have yielded tangible benefits for the region, making his return a matter of strategic continuity rather than mere partisan politics. By consolidating grassroots support so early and decisively, the community has effectively fortified Jamiu’s political foundation, signaling to the wider constituency that his candidacy is built upon a bedrock of local trust and proven legislative competence.
This unified front serves as a powerful message to the broader political landscape of Ekiti State, demonstrating that Jamiu’s ambition is inextricably linked to the aspirations of his people. As the re-election drive gains momentum, the transformation of his campaign into a communal movement provides him with formidable leverage. With the backing of the Ijabo clan and the various quarters of Igbemo, Jamiu enters the next phase of the electoral cycle not just as an incumbent seeking office, but as a representative carrying the collective mandate of a home base determined to see its interests protected at the state level.
