Omo Ibil Igbomina Critiques Nomination Form Directive

The socio-cultural group Omo Ibil Igbomina, led by Chairman Otunba Babatunde Akinyemi, has condemned a directive issued by Barrister Bisi Adedayo, the national public secretary, which instructs political aspirants from Igbomina to refrain from obtaining nomination forms until April 29, 2026. The group described this directive as insensitive and ultra vires, asserting it could deepen political divisions within Kwara South.

They emphasized that the organization should not regulate political activities of Igbomina's sons and daughters across party lines. The assembly expressed concerns that the directive could heighten political tensions and breed suspicion among aspirants.

They also questioned the motivations behind the directive, suggesting it may favor particular candidates. The group called for the Board of Trustees and elder council to prevent further damage to the organization's image and reaffirmed their commitment to promoting cultural unity and development among the people.
