GNI Grassroots Women Mobilisation Movement declare support for Tinubu ‘s reelection,urge Isiaka to join Ogun gov race
Women under the aegis of the GNI Grassroots Women Mobilization Movement, Ogun West, have openly declared their support for President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
At the same gathering, they called on Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka – GNI to present himself for the 2027 Ogun State governorship election, expressing confidence in his capacity to provide steady, inclusive, and purposeful leadership needed to build on the progress of the Dapo Abiodun administration.
Meanwhile, Isiaka, has indicated interest to contest the governorship seat of the State in 2027 general election.
He made this known during a radio programme in Abeokuta, on Thursday, that though he is interested in contesting the election, but would respect party’s decision in respect of his intention.
Isiaka who is currently representing Imeko-Afon and Yewa North Federal Constituency, spoke on governance, national policy issues, and development challenges facing communities in Ogun State.
The lawmaker said his decision was informed by years of legislative experience and engagement with grassroots concerns, particularly in border communities within Ogun State.
“Yes, I am interested in the governorship. However, this is only the beginning of a process, and it must be approached with patience, discipline, and respect for the structures of the party.”
“I believe strongly in internal democracy and due process.
Any aspiration, no matter how long held or deeply felt, must be tested against established structures and collective judgment. For me, this is about responsibility, order, and service. I will abide fully by the rules of the party and allow the process to take its proper course.”
He noted that his focus in the House of Representatives has remained on effective representation, policy intervention, and addressing issues such as youth unemployment, access to education, and economic hardship.
Beyond state-level governance, Isiaka also spoke on national issues, including ongoing discussions around electoral reforms.
He said lawmakers continue to work towards strengthening Nigeria’s electoral framework in a way that balances technological innovation with operational realities.
According to him, electoral laws must protect inclusion and credibility, especially in areas with weak infrastructure.
“Nigeria’s diversity and size require laws that work across different realities. Democracy must function for every voter, regardless of location.”
Isiaka added that governance must be judged by its impact on people’s daily lives, from national policy decisions to local development outcomes.
