A growing political slogan, “Iru wa-Ogiri wa,” is gaining attention across Ekiti State as support continues to build for the re-election bid of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.
The phrase, which has become increasingly popular at political gatherings, reflects a sense of identity and shared purpose among supporters backing the governor’s second-term ambition.
Observers note that the movement has drawn participation from diverse political groups, including individuals previously aligned with opposition figures, signaling a shift in political dynamics within the state.
The slogan has been prominently featured at campaign rallies and community engagements, where supporters have demonstrated strong enthusiasm for the continuation of the current administration.
Political analysts say such grassroots-driven expressions often play a significant role in shaping public perception and mobilizing voter support during election cycles.
The growing acceptance of the slogan is being interpreted by supporters as a sign of confidence in the governor’s leadership and governance approach.
Recent campaign activities across parts of Ekiti North, including Ilejemeje, Moba, and Ido-Osi local government areas, have further amplified the movement’s visibility.
Notable political figures, including Segun Oni, have also been seen participating in campaign tours, reinforcing narratives of inclusiveness and broad-based support.
While critics remain cautious about the implications of such movements, supporters argue that it represents a genuine expression of unity and collective aspiration for the state’s future.
As the election approaches, the influence of slogans like “Iru wa-Ogiri wa” may become more pronounced in shaping campaign messaging and voter engagement strategies.
