The Ijesa Progressives Movement (IPM) has slammed a group, Ijesa Concerned Citizens, over its call on political parties and voters to reject a potential third term for incumbent Senator representing Osun East, Francis Fadahunsi.
In a statement by its President, Amb. Adeboye Ayeni and General Secretary Comrade Idowu Afilaka, IPM, said no reasonable Ijesa person would abandon Senator Fadahunsi for “failed political jobbers” in the name of age or rotation.
According to the statement, “We are apolitical and remain so. One must ask: Where are these so-called ‘Ijesa Concerned Citizens’? What is their contribution to developing Ijesaland? Where are they located, and who is bankrolling them?.
“On a good day, we wouldn’t dignify their statement, but because Ijesaland belongs to us, we will never allow political jobbers to rubbish our collective interest.”
The IPM accused the group of ignoring Senator Fadahunsi’s developments in Ife/Ijesa over the last six years, noting they are not even based in Osun State but operate from Abuja, making them “invisible” to witness his impact.
“Yes, the Senate seat belongs to the people, not any individual—but it must go to capable hands. We are sure Senator Fadahunsi is capable, reliable, exposed, and brave enough to represent us again in 2027,” it continued.
