By PATH NEWS
The race for the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives took a new turn as the candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Michael Falana popularly known as Falas received royal blessings from the Olowa of Igbaraoke, Oba Adefarakanmi Agbede ahead of the 2027 election.
Chief Falana paid a courtesy visit to the first-class monarch at his palace in Igbaraoke, where he was warmly received and offered royal prayers for his ambition.
Speaking with the PATH after the visit, Falas said the courtesy visit and prayers from the monarch have a great meaning to his House of Representatives ambition.
He described the Olowa as a father to all, whose blessings and counsel will go a long way in strengthening his journey to the National Assembly.
Falana used the occasion to correct the narrative making rounds that no candidate from Ifedore Local Government is in the race for the seat at the lower chamber, saying he is a proud son of Ifedore and the candidate to beat in the race.
He thanked the monarch for the warm reception, prayers and advice, with a promise of better representation for the people of Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency if elected.
Falas added that, for equity and fairness, it is the turn of Ifedore to produce the next representative for the federal constituency.
He noted that Idanre has done two terms of 8 years in the House of Representatives, and it is only just and fair that Ifedore be allowed to take its turn in 2027.
He stated further that the 2027 election is more of personality than political party, saying he has what it takes to provide better representation to his constituents.
The NDC candidate called on all residents of the federal constituency to vote for NDC in the House of Representatives election slated for January next year.
He assured them of bringing dividends of good governance to them, adding that he is not new to physical and human development, of which his Foundation has been doing before now.
According to him, his track record in community development, empowerment and support for the people speaks for itself, and he is ready to do more at the National Assembly.
In his response, the Olowa of Igbaraoke, Oba Adefarakanmi Agbede prayed for Chief Michael Falana and enjoined him not to stop the good work he has been doing for the community.
The monarch wished him success in his ambition and urged him to continue to put the interest of the people first.
The visit was witnessed by chiefs, supporters and well-wishers of the NDC candidate, who described the royal blessings as a major boost to the Falas campaign.
