“Okoro (Not Toyin) Set to Contest Ekiti Reps Seat – Another Oshodi Disaster Loading?”

An Igbo man, Okoro, has picked nomination forms to run for the House of Representatives in Ekiti State. He added “Toyin” to his name, but his roots are not in Ekiti soil.

This is the same script that played out in Oshodi-Isolo, where Okey Onuakalusi, an Igbo man, now represents Yoruba people in Abuja. The people of Oshodi have cried out ever since.

Now Ekiti is on the same path. Observers are asking: how does a conservative people hand their voice to an outsider?

Political watchers warn that if Ekiti fails to field a candidate with genuine local ties, the constituency will suffer the same fate as Oshodi. The warning is clear: protect your land or lose it.
