House of Representatives aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Damilola Fetuga has urged Independent National Electoral Commission to uphold integrity ahead of 2027 general election to avoid jeopardising Nigerians’ trust in the process.

Dr. Fetuga spoke at a  hangout she organised at Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, which drew over 1000 women from Ijebu Central Federal Constituency who endorsed her for House of Representatives.

The event focused on challenges women face in politics and society and featured health engagement with medical practitioners.

Fetuga said: “Women understand women, men understand men. That’s why I decided to hang out with them. And the hangout is not just an ordinary hangout but a very quality discussion about our constituency and a lot of challenges that women face in politics and society.”

She urged INEC and the government to ensure transparency and fairness ahead of 2027 elections, noting that the citizens’ interests are the top priority.

“We want to beg our government to ensure that our vote is well protected so the right people can be chosen, so that the right people can represent their people. I’m begging the government to ensure that people are not disappointed,” she said.

Expressing confidence and trust in the administration of President Bola Tinubu, Fetuga said: “He’s a father of all, and he wants transparency, he wants justice. And I pray 2027 will be a good story for Nigerians.”

Fetuga funded the event, distributing cash, and refreshments.
