The compelling demand of the PYF is coming on the heels of a raging debate for *Igueben Local Government* to produce the member that will occupy the Esan West/ Esan Central/ Igueben Federal Constituency in view of the marginalization of Igueben Local Government in that regard.

Olowo said thus: ” the Call to Service on Hon(Barr) Ken Ihensekhien became necessary and apt considering his towering political pedigree and contributions to the development of Esan West) Esan Central/ Igueben Federal Constituency when he held sway as a two time Commissioner in Edo State.
He further stated that: ” It is my singular honour on behalf of the PYF to call on Hon(Barr) Ken Ihensekhien to declare as an aspirant for the House of Representatives in Esan West/ Esan Central/ Igueben Federal Constituency going forward.”
*Conclusively, the group also called on the leadership of the PDP in Esan West/ Esan Central / Igueben Federal Constituency to FEAR GOD and also zone its ticket in that regard to Igueben LGA so that continuously marginalization of the good people of Igueben LGA under the Esan West/Esan Central /Igueben Federal Constituency can be effectively tamed come 2023.*
