The political landscape of Kosofe Federal Constituency is set for a major contest ahead of the 2027 general elections, as former Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Mayor Dele Osinowo, has officially declared his intention to run for the House of Representatives seat.
Osinowo’s entry into the race is already generating significant attention across the constituency, with supporters pointing to his track record in grassroots governance as a major factor positioning him ahead in the emerging contest. He is expected to challenge the incumbent lawmaker, Hon. Kafilat Ogbara, who currently represents Kosofe Federal Constituency at the National Assembly.
In his declaration message, Osinowo highlighted his achievements during his tenure as council chairman, emphasizing impact-driven leadership and community development across Agboyi-Ketu and the broader Kosofe axis.
According to him, his administration “set a new benchmark” in local governance by delivering across key sectors and responding effectively to the needs of residents. He noted that his decision to contest is driven by a desire to scale up his impact through legislative representation.
“Kosofe deserves stronger, louder, and more effective representation,” Osinowo stated, adding that he is “ready, prepared, and committed” to take the constituency to the next level through purposeful and visible leadership.
He further called on constituents to support his aspiration, stressing that his transition from executive leadership at the local level to legislative responsibility at the federal level would enable him to craft policies that directly benefit the people.
Political observers note that Osinowo’s declaration signals the beginning of what could become a highly competitive race in Kosofe, with stakeholders already anticipating intense political engagement in the months ahead.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, Kosofe Federal Constituency is expected to witness a defining moment that will shape its representation at the national level.
