As the African Democratic Congress (ADC) prepares for its upcoming conventions, a powerful grassroots movement is sweeping through Owan East and West, with stakeholders formally throwing their weight behind Abdukudus Isah for the House of Representatives seat.
In a compelling appeal addressed to party leadership, local organizers and community leaders have described Isah as a “titan” who stands tall among all other aspirants. The movement, which has gained significant momentum in recent weeks, is being touted as a “unified front” capable of disrupting the traditional political landscape in the region.
Strategic “Cross-Border” Campaign
What sets this mobilization apart is its aggressive reach beyond party lines. Proponents of the Isah candidacy revealed that they have already begun making inroads into the camps of the ruling party to secure commitments from opposition voters.
”We are giving the ADC a candidate we can systematically and categorically campaign for,” the statement read. “Our outreach has shown that even those in the ruling party are looking for the kind of capability Abdukudus Isah represents.”
Uniformity Across Generations
Following a series of “secret and open meetings” held across the Owan local government areas, organizers report a rare consensus among diverse demographics. From the elderly to the youth, the feedback has been described as “uniform.”
According to the group, the following factors have solidified Isah’s position:
- Widespread Consultation: Extensive visits to men, women, and youth groups across the constituency.
- Capacity: A consensus that Isah is the most “capable among equals” currently vying for the office.
- Brand Strength: The emergence of a singular, viral slogan—#AbdukudusIsah4HouseOfRep—which has become the rallying cry for the 2027 cycle.
A Plea for Cooperation
The grassroots leaders concluded their appeal by urging ADC party executives to prioritize “support, cooperation, and understanding” in ratifying Isah’s candidacy. They argue that his emergence is not just a dream for the party, but a necessity for the overall success and development of the Owan people.
As the political atmosphere in Edo State heats up ahead of the 2027 general elections, all eyes remain on the ADC leadership to see if they will align with this burgeoning “Owan Oyeeee!” movement.
