Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, on Sunday, declared his support for the candidate for the House of Representatives under the Accord in Osun State, Pelumi Olajengbesi, for 2027.
Olajengbesi is seeking election for Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency in the 2027 election.
Igboho, the founder of the Iru Ekun security outfit with a presence in some South-West states, announced this when Olajengbesi paid a visit to his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State.
A statement issued by Olajengbesi’s media office and forwarded to The PUNCH in Ibadan, the state capital, said Igboho journeyed down memory lane and recounted how Olajengbesi offered legal representation for him when the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari raided his Ibadan residence in July 2021 and detained him in Benin Republic, where he had escaped after the raid.
Olajengbesi, who served as campaign spokesperson for the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osun State, is currently seeking to represent Oriade-Obokun Federal Constituency.

Olajengbesi would be contesting against the current All Progressives Congress representative, Wole Oke, in 2027.
However, Igboho said, “It’s important to have a change in representation in the constituency. Pelumi is a breath of fresh air.
