A growing wave of political momentum is building in Ekiti State as Kayode Arewa Sanni consolidates support for his bid to represent his constituency in the State House of Assembly under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
A statement signed by Sanni and copied The Reporters on Saturday said that his formal declaration has been met with widespread approval across several communities.
He added that party loyalists, youth groups, and traditional stakeholders describe his emergence as a timely intervention in the quest for credible and people-focused representation.
Sanni’s entry into the race, observers say, reflects increasing grassroots demand for a new style of leadership and youth participation in politics anchored on inclusiveness and accountability.
The rising profile of his candidacy was further reinforced during a strategic engagement with the Elekole-in-Council, where Sanni, accompanied by party members, hosted prominent ADC governorship aspirant, Dare Bejide and his deputy campaign chief Ayodeji Babatola.
The meeting is widely seen as a significant political alignment, signaling cohesion within party ranks ahead of the primary elections.
Stakeholders at the gathering commended Sanni’s longstanding connection with the grassroots, citing his accessibility and responsiveness to community needs.
Several leaders noted that his candidacy represents a shift towards more accountable legislative representation, driven by direct engagement with constituents.
Addressing supporters, Sanni outlined his legislative priorities, placing emphasis on youth empowerment, infrastructure development, and transparency in governance.
He reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that the voices of the people are effectively represented in the legislative process.
Political analysts suggest that the visible endorsement from influential figures within the ADC, particularly Bejide, could prove pivotal in shaping the outcome of the primaries.
They also point to emerging unity within the party as a potential advantage in the broader electoral contest.
As political activities intensify ahead of the primaries, Sanni’s campaign continues to gain traction, with many constituents expressing confidence in his capacity to deliver purposeful representation.
With expanding stakeholder support and a message centered on inclusive development, his candidacy is increasingly being viewed as a strong force in the unfolding dynamics of Ekiti State politics.
