Mopamuro, Yagba West and Yagba East Local Government Areas are set to converge in Isanlu, Yagba East LGA, for a grand homecoming and welcome rally in honour of Elder Leke Abejide, the APC candidate for Yagba East, Yagba West and Mopamuro Federal Constituency.
The event, scheduled for Thursday, October 8, 2026, is being jointly hosted by the leadership of the three local government areas as supporters, party faithful, youths, women groups, traditional rulers, community leaders and other stakeholders prepare to receive Abejide.
The Executive Chairmen of the three Local Government Areas; Hon. Ademola Bello Destiny (Mopamuro), Hon. Joshua Dare (Yagba East), and Hon. Tosin Olokun (Yagba West), in a public announcement, invited residents and members of the public to participate in the rally, describing it as an occasion organised in solidarity with and support for Elder Leke Abejide.
According to the announcement, participants from Mopamuro will converge at the College of Education Technical, Mopa, from where the procession will commence its journey towards Isanlu in Yagba East Local Government Area.
The Mopamuro contingent is expected to take off at 8:00 a.m., with the rally route running from Mopa to Isanlu, where the broader homecoming programme will take place.
Hon. Bello called on APC members, supporters of Abejide, traditional rulers, community leaders, youths, women groups and other residents of Mopamuro to come out in large numbers to give the federal constituency’s candidate a warm welcome.
Similarly, the Executive Chairman of Yagba West Local Government Area and Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Kogi State Chapter, Hon. Tosin Olokun, extended an invitation to the public to the welcome rally scheduled for Isanlu.
The Yagba West chairman urged supporters and stakeholders to identify with the occasion, stressing the importance of their presence at the gathering.
The programme in Isanlu is scheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 8.
Also expected to play a key role in the programme is Hon. Joshua Dare, who, alongside the chairmen of Mopamuro and Yagba West, is part of the leadership hosting the homecoming programme.
The arrangement is expected to bring together people from the three local government areas that make up the Yagba Federal Constituency, with Mopamuro and Yagba West delegations travelling to Yagba East for the gathering in Isanlu.
The convergence is expected to provide an opportunity for supporters and stakeholders from across the three local government areas to welcome Abejide and demonstrate solidarity ahead of the forthcoming political activities in the constituency.
