The people of Irepodun Local Government have in time past been agitating for a representative who understands what it means to represent them.

Until the entry of Barrister Akogun into the Irepodun Constituency race, the people were almost giving up.

Years have past, things have changed positively at a snail - like speed.


The people of Irepodun have groaned in pains for years as they expect a participatory representation that projects the voice,  challenges and aspiration of the people that are being represented. They desire their voices be heard, at the apex level of Governance.

Amofin Akogun is going out with all energy to preach his Masterplan initiative of a People driven representation, Job opportunity Creation &facilitation, Legacy infrastructure facilitation, Educational advancement,  Digital Step Up, Old Women Circle and Farm Pyramid to his people.

A representation that truly cares and carry them along in decision making is what he assures.

A representation that dialogues with constituents and gives Stewardship is what he assures.

The 7 cardinal ideological campaign of this Omu aran born lawyer is really changing the tide of things in Irepodun Local Government.


All things being equal, we are set to witness a new type of politics and governance that transcends the rhetorics of the past.

It is a new dawn in Irepodun Local Government, A New Star is Risen!

It's Time For BIG IDEAS!

The Hero is Here.

Kwara South 2023 Elections: Simple Steps on How to Transfer your Permanent Voters Card

In 2018, Funmi was living and working in Enugu State. She registered for her Permanent Voters Card (PVC) there and voted during the 2019 general elections.

However, in 2021, Funmi relocated to Omu Aran, in Irepodun LGA of Kwara State

and according to her, she cannot travel to Enugu state to perform her civic duty (vote) in the forthcoming election even though she genuinely desires to vote. Funmi doesn’t want to disappoint, so what shall she do?

Well, Section 58 of the Electoral Act, 2010 says that “No person shall be permitted to vote at any polling unit other than the one to which he is allotted.”

Does this mean Funmi will not vote in the 2023 general election? Thankfully, No. According to the Electoral Act, she can still vote, but she will have to follow the instructions as stated in Section 13 of the Electoral Act.

“A person who before the election in a constituency other than the one in which he was registered may apply to the Resident Electoral Commission of the state he is currently resident for his name to be entered on the transferred voter’s list of the constituency”.

With this provision, it means Funmi will be able to vote if she applies/requests for a transfer of her voter’s card, and this is how to go about it.
