A leading aspirant for the Isin/Irepodun/Ekiti/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, Prince Dr. Kehinde Alex Bankole, has formally submitted his expression of interest and nomination forms.
Bankole, who submitted the documents at the party’s secretariat amid a throng of cheering supporters, stated that his decision to join the race was informed by a divine call to service and a commitment to rescue the constituency from legislative stagnation.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the exercise, the realtor-turned-politician noted that his campaign was built on a tripod of experience, adequate preparation, and a deep-seated love for his people.
“I am not a stranger to the challenges facing our people in Isin, Irepodun, Ekiti, and Oke-Ero. I have spent years preparing for this moment, building a track record of service even as a private citizen. Today marks a decisive step in our journey to provide the quality representation our people deserve,” Bankole said.
The aspirant maintained that his blueprint for the constituency centers on human capital development, agricultural revolution, and infrastructural face-lift. He argued that the federal constituency, which comprises four key local government areas in Kwara State, requires a vibrant voice in the Green Chamber to attract federal presence.
He said, “We are coming with a clear roadmap. Our focus is to ensure that the youth are empowered through sustainable schemes, and our farmers get the necessary federal backing to thrive. We are not just making promises; we are bringing a record of performance to the table.”
The submission ceremony was attended by several party stalwarts and community leaders from the four local governments.
With the submission of his forms, Bankole is expected to intensify his consultations across the various wards in the federal constituency ahead of the party primaries.
