In the rich tapestry of Nigeria’s political landscape, unity remains the bedrock of progress. Yet, in Mopamuro Local Government Area, a place historically known for its resilience and communal spirit, recent political developments threaten to fracture this unity.
As the upcoming Yagba Federal Constituency election approaches, the call for Mopamuro to rally behind a single, formidable candidate has never been more urgent. That candidate is General Benjamin Ipinyomi Rtd, an aspirant whose leadership qualities, track record, and vision align perfectly with the hopes and aspirations of the people.
A House Divided: The Peril of Disunity

A house divided against itself cannot stand, said the wise. Unfortunately, in Mopamuro, internal disagreements and factionalism have begun to threaten the collective strength of the community. Different interests, political ambitions, and rivalries have created fissures that could ultimately weaken the very foundation of our political voice. Such disunity not only hampers effective representation but also diminishes Mopamuro’s capacity to secure developmental dividends from Abuja.
Disunity is a luxury Mopamuro cannot afford, especially at this critical juncture. The political terrain is fiercely competitive, and without a united front, our voice risks being drowned out. The need for cohesion, for rallying round a single candidate who embodies our collective interests, is urgent. That candidate, without doubt, is General Benjamin Ipinyomi.
General Benjamin Ipinyomi’s leadership qualities transcend partisan politics. His military background has imbued him with discipline, resilience, and strategic thinking traits that are vital for effective representation. As a man who has served Nigeria with integrity and dedication, he understands the importance of unity and purpose.
His manifesto is rooted in inclusive development: improving infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for all residents of Mopamuro and Yagba at large. But beyond policy, it is his character and leadership style that inspire confidence. Ipinyomi is known for his humility, fairness, and ability to build bridges across divides—traits that can heal the rifts currently threatening our community’s cohesion.
