Onikola Takes Ibarapa Kan Campaign to Pako Cassava Traders, Reports Strong Show of Support

In continuation of his grassroots mobilisation for the re-election of Hon. Dr. Anthony Adebayo Adepoju, popularly known as IBARAPA KAN, Blessing Julius Onikola, also known as HONICOS Omo Yin, alongside members of the HONICOS Support Movement, has taken the campaign to cassava traders at Pako Market, Igboora, engaging them in a direct conversation on the lawmaker’s representation and achievements.

The visit, which focused on canvassing support for Adepoju’s re-election bid as the Federal Representative for Ibarapa Central/North Federal Constituency, provided an opportunity for Onikola and his team to interact with the traders, share their reasons for supporting the incumbent lawmaker, and encourage continued participation in the democratic process.

During the engagement, Onikola highlighted what he described as Adepoju’s commitment to the development of Ibarapa Central and North, particularly in the areas of community development, empowerment, and initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of constituents.

He described the federal lawmaker as a leader whose actions, in his view, reflect his promises, urging the traders not to withdraw their support but to remain committed to his continued representation.

According to Onikola, the team appealed to the traders to sustain their support for IBARAPA KAN and turn out in large numbers to vote for him in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

The outreach was reportedly received warmly by the traders, who expressed appreciation for the visit and conveyed their support for Adepoju’s re-election ambition. Onikola said the traders assured the team of their willingness to support the lawmaker at the polls.

Speaking after the engagement, Onikola described the reception as encouraging, noting that the response had further strengthened his determination to expand the activities of the support movement across the constituency.

He emphasised that his political mobilisation would not be limited to market visits, promising to extend the campaign to more communities, streets, and households across Ibarapa Central and North.

“I will not stop. I will keep going from market to market, street to street, and house to house, engaging our people and encouraging them to support a leader whose representation I believe has brought value to our constituency,” he stated.

Onikola added that the market engagement represents his personal contribution through the HONICOS Support Movement, which he said remains committed to mobilising grassroots support for Adepoju ahead of the 2027 elections.

The visit forms part of the movement’s ongoing political activities aimed at strengthening community-level engagement and promoting the re-election of the incumbent Federal Representative.
