Iba of Kishi Backs Shina Peller for Oyo North Senate Bid
On September 27, 2026, the Iba of Kishi and paramount ruler of Kishi land, His Royal Majesty, Oba Moshood Oyekola Aweda Lawal, endorsed Hon. Shina Peller for the Oyo North Senatorial District seat in the upcoming 2027 general elections. The endorsement occurred during a visit by Peller, the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) senatorial candidate, who was accompanied by his mother, Alhaja Silifat Abeo Abiola Peller, and other party executives and supporters.
Lady Peller, a daughter of Kishi, has familial ties to the area, as her late father was a prominent Chief Imam of Kishi Land. Peller expressed confidence in his ability to represent the diverse interests of Oyo North, citing his background and previous legislative experience as key assets.
He served as a member of the House of Representatives from 2019 to 2023, representing the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency. Peller declared his intention to run for the Oyo North senatorial seat under the APM in August 2026, aiming to address local issues and promote development initiatives.
