Do Not Relocate Nigerian Army Barracks from Ipoti Ekiti-  Concerned Citizen Begs  Oyebanji 

Dear  Governor bioduna Oyebanji and Nigerian Army Headquarters
I, Adewumi Idowu Paul, a concerned citizen of Ijero Local Government Area, Ekiti State, write to humbly appeal to the government to reconsider the proposed relocation of the Nigerian Army Barracks from our community in Ipoti Ekiti.
The Nigerian Army Barracks in Ipoti Ekiti is more than just a military facility, it is a cornerstone of security, unity, and stability in our community. Relocating it would create a vacuum that could have unintended consequences for the region.
The 148 battalion of Nigerian Army was sited in Ipoti for more than 12 years ago when Rtd Group Captain Caleb Olu Bolade was in government as Police Affairs Minister. The location was strategic between the four communities; IPOTI, EJIYAN, IJURIN AND ILORO EKITI.
The positive effects of that cantonment being relocated to Ikere would have been so heavy in our communities especially in the area of security, commerce, real estate and employment., but these opportunities are flying away in our very eyes because; Ise omo le nriyen.
We are calling on the Member of House of Representatives in the person of Hon Biodun Omoleye to present the case in the hallow chamber of National Assembly because the relocation is illegal and this fall under his constituency.
This issue should be debated in the house and this illegal relocation must be reversed.
Similar issue occurred at Ilejemeji Local Govt where Eda Oniyo was mentioned as the Headquarters but some powerful people changed it to Iye.
The people of Eda Oniyo went to court and the decision was reversed after 20 + years.
The leaders of Ijero Local including the Kabiyesis should not take this issue lightly until the barrack is relocated back to Ipoti.
Governor bioduna Oyebanji we trust in your leadership and understanding to make a decision that prioritizes the well-being of our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
