Ketu Intelligentsia Forum (KIF), a socio-political pressure group, has endorsed Hon Gboyega Nasir Isiaka of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as its preferred candidate for the 2027 Ogun State governorship election. The endorsement was announced in a statement released by the group, which cited Isiaka's legislative track record and grassroots engagement as key factors in its decision. KIF described Isiaka as a leader with a proven commitment to youth development and infrastructural growth in Ogun Central. The group said its members had conducted an internal review of potential candidates before arriving at the decision.
Isiaka, currently representing Ogun Central in the House of Representatives, has previously served two terms in the Ogun State House of Assembly. He was first elected to the federal legislature in 2019 and re-elected in 2023. While the APC has not yet begun official primaries for the 2027 election, KIF's endorsement adds early momentum to Isiaka's possible gubernatorial bid. Other aspirants within the party are expected to intensify campaign efforts in the coming months as political activities heat up across the state.
Endorsing a sitting lawmaker before party processes begin gives KIF influence, but it also exposes the group's hand too early in a race that could shift dramatically over two years. Gboyega Isiaka's legislative profile is now under greater scrutiny, and his ability to convert such endorsements into broad-based support will determine whether this backing translates into political capital. For Ogun voters, the move signals the start of intensified lobbying rather than a settled outcome.
