Justice Forum Opposes Benson's Fourth Term Bid in Ikorodu

The Justice Forum has openly rejected Babajimi Benson's bid for a fourth term as the representative for Ikorodu in Lagos State, citing zoning and equity concerns. Benson, who has served three consecutive terms since his election in 2015, is facing increasing criticism from various stakeholders, including youth groups and community leaders.

The forum's vice chairman, Mr. Ibiyemi Sani, emphasized that extending Benson's tenure beyond 12 years would be excessive and detrimental to democratic principles.

Stakeholders argue that such a move would undermine political renewal and limit opportunities for emerging leaders. The discourse around Benson's potential re-election has gained momentum over the past two years, reflecting a growing demand for fair candidacy and political balance within the constituency.

The Justice Forum aims to influence the selection of candidates for the upcoming 2027 elections, highlighting the need for a rotation of leadership to ensure inclusivity and representation.
