Hon. Dr. Ajani Abiola Joshua (FCNA) has officially declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat to represent Moro/Edu/Patigi Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections.

The declaration, held on Friday, at Junior Secondary School, Tsaragi, drew a large crowd of supporters, party faithful, and key stakeholders, signaling growing political momentum behind his aspiration.

Ahead of the event, the aspirant paid a courtesy visit to the Etsu of Tsaragi, Alhaji Abdullahi Kpotwa Yahaya, where he sought royal blessings. The traditional ruler offered prayers for his success and encouraged peaceful and purposeful leadership.

Hon. Dr. Ajani Abiola Joshua was later received at the venue by enthusiastic supporters who turned out in large numbers to welcome him.

Stakeholders who spoke during the event expressed confidence in his candidacy and pledged their support ahead of the polls.

Delivering his goodwill message, Hon. Yisa Benjamin, former Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, called for equity in representation within the constituency.

“Moro Local Government has never produced a member of the House of Representatives in the history of Kwara State. This is Moro/Edu/Patigi Federal Constituency, not just Edu/Patigi. It is only fair that Moro is given the opportunity now,” he said.

Also speaking, Alhaji Yahaya Mohammed, Permanent Secretary, Kwara State Ministry of Livestock, commended the aspirant’s contributions to the people, expressing confidence in his ability to deliver effective representation.

In his remarks, Hon. Alhassan Mariam praised Hon. Dr. Ajani Abiola Joshua for his track record of service, noting that he has consistently demonstrated commitment to the welfare of his people.
