Owan and Akoko-Edo Alliance Demand Equity in Edo North Senatorial Rotation

A socio-political alliance representing Owan and Akoko-Edo has raised concerns over Etsako’s nearly 20-year hold on the Edo North senatorial seat. They note that Owan and Akoko-Edo have shared just eight years between them. Convener Sunny Ifijen is calling for a correction of this imbalance in the 2027 elections. He argues that federal and state appointments have also trended heavily in favor of Etsako, sidelining the other two zones. Ifijen points to Nigeria’s recent practice of rotating power as a model for fair representation. He insists that the principle of equity used at national and state levels must guide the Edo North senatorial contest.
