…As Party leaders unite, urge members to close ranks ahead of 2027 elections

…Ewenla emerges, calls for cohesion to challenge All Progressives Congress in 2027

The Alimosho chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has successfully conducted a peaceful and unified consensus process, culminating in the emergence of Prince (Amb.) Dr. Adedipe Dauda Ewenla as its candidate for the Federal House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The development, which took place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, is being described by party stakeholders as a significant milestone in the political history of Alimosho, reflecting unity and internal cohesion among party members.

Leaders, stakeholders, and local government executives were reported to have participated actively in the process, which concluded without disputes.

Speaking after his emergence, Ewenla expressed deep gratitude to party leaders and members for the confidence reposed in him.

He described the consensus decision as a collective achievement and pledged to represent the constituency with dedication and integrity.

Ewenla also extended an appeal to fellow aspirants who were not selected, urging them to remain committed to the party’s shared vision.

According to him, the consensus outcome should be seen as a unifying step rather than a point of division, emphasizing that political participation is an ongoing journey with future opportunities.

He further called on party members to strengthen internal unity and work collaboratively to position the PDP for victory against opposition parties, including the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the forthcoming elections.

Ewenla commended the state leadership of the party, led by Dr. Amos Fawole, for ensuring adherence to the party’s constitutional provisions, which allow for candidate selection through either primary elections or consensus.

Observers note that Alimosho’s adoption of the consensus approach, without reports of conflict or division, may serve as a model for other local government areas within the party.

With his candidacy now confirmed, Ewenla affirmed his readiness to contest and engage opposition candidates, expressing confidence in the PDP’s structure and support base.

Party members have been urged to maintain unity, mutual respect, and collective responsibility as preparations intensify for the 2027 general elections.
