Former KWHA Commission Member Declares Bid for Green Chamber_
Ilorin, Kwara State — May 4, 2026
Hon. Dr. Kehinde Alex Bankole, KAB, on Monday submitted his nomination and expression of interest forms to contest the Federal House of Representatives seat for Isin/Irepodun/Ekiti/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency.
The former Member of the Kwara State House of Assembly Commission was accompanied by party leaders, community stakeholders, youth groups, and supporters from across the four LGAs as he submitted his forms at the party secretariat in Abuja. The submission marks his formal entry into the race for the Green Chamber ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Addressing supporters after the submission, Dr. Bankole said his decision was driven by a commitment to offer “better representation” anchored on experience, access, and community development.
> “I’m not just here to contest. I’m here to represent our people better,” KAB said. “Our constituency — Isin, Irepodun, Ekiti, Oke-Ero — deserves a strong voice that can attract projects, empower our youth and women, and make government work for the grassroots. My track record in public service and my network across the six geopolitical zones will be put to work for our people.”
" I shall bring this ticket home by the grace of God".
Dr. Bankole is widely described by associates as a community builder with royal heritage and deep grassroots ties. As a former member of the Kwara State House of Assembly Commission, he was involved in legislative oversight and institutional strengthening. Supporters point to his interventions in education, rural infrastructure, and youth empowerment as proof of his capacity.
His campaign agenda for the Green Chamber centers on five priorities:
1. Quality Representation — Sponsoring bills and motions that directly impact Isin/Irepodun/Ekiti/Oke-Ero.
2. Infrastructure — Pushing for federal attention to roads, water, and rural electrification.
3. Jobs & SMEs— Facilitating access to federal grants, training, and markets for youth and women.
4. Education & Health — Upgrading facilities and expanding scholarships and primary healthcare.
5. Agriculture — Supporting farmers with inputs, storage, and value-chain linkages.
Party leaders at the secretariat described KAB as “a true son of the soil” with the competence and connections to deliver. Youth and women groups from Omu-Aran, Osi, Omu-Ekiti, and Iloffa who witnessed the submission pledged to mobilize across all 42 wards in the constituency.
With the submission completed, Dr. Bankole now moves into the next phase: ward consultations, delegate engagement, and policy town halls across the federal constituency.
“Ekiti, Oke-Ero, Isin, Irepodun — the time is now,” one supporter said. “KAB is our own, and we’re ready to send him to Abuja.”.
