Dr. Audu Musa Idowu (AMI) has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the House of Representatives seat representing Ekiti/Oke Ero/Isin/Irepodun Federal Constituency under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The announcement, made during a series of high-profile consultative visits across the constituency, marks the formal entry of one of Kwara South’s most recognizable humanitarian figures into the political arena.
Dr. Audu whose nearly 20-year track record of community service has touched thousands of lives across the four local government areas, described his decision as “a call to elevate service from the community level to the legislative arena, where laws are made and resources allocated.”
Speaking to stakeholders during recent visits to Ekiti, Oke Ero, and Isin Local Government Areas, Dr. Audu Musa Idowu said the decision to seek political office came after.
Sustained encouragement from constituents who witnessed his humanitarian work since 2006.
“For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving our communities through medical outreach programs, empowerment projects, educational scholarships, and support for families in need. The countless voices that have encouraged me to translate this service into political leadership have not fallen on deaf ears,” Dr. Audu stated.
The declaration events drew impressive turnouts, with traditional rulers, party elders, youth leaders, women groups, and community stakeholders expressing strong support for his candidacy.
“My ambition is driven by a vision of a constituency where no one is left behind, where every voice matters, and where our collective dreams become our shared reality,” he declared.
Party leaders and traditional rulers who received Dr. Audu Musa Idowu during his declaration tour praised his consultative approach, describing it as evidence of political maturity and respect for established community structures.
The aspiring representative met separately with royal fathers, party elders, youth organizations, and women’s groups—a methodical engagement strategy that observers say demonstrates his commitment to inclusive governance.
He said, “I believe in leadership that listens first and speaks second. I believe in governance that is inclusive, transparent, and accountable. These principles have guided my humanitarian work, and they will guide my service in the House of Representatives.”
