After dumping the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PD), Ibrahim Olanrewaju Ajiboye (Omo Iya Eleja) on Friday, has emerged as the federal House of Representatives candidate of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) for Ibadan Southeast, Northeast Federal Constituency.
Omo Oya Eleja is a federal lawmaker hopeful who left the PDP party a few weeks ago, owing to the injustice and self-centeredness of the People’s Democratic Party.

Your support will not be taken for granted and will always be remembered and appreciated.” Omo Iya Eleja thanked the delegates and present party faithful.
While addressing the party leaders and members, Hon. Iyiola Taiwo the NNPP chairman, Ibadan Northeast said, Omo Iya Eleja won the party ticket for Ibadan Northeast, the Southeast federal constituency based on his humanity to the masses and political antecedent in the constituency.
