Over 15 aspirants from the three senatorial districts of Oyo State are jostling for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.

Notably among them are: the former Senate leader, Teslim Folarin, the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, Senator Fatai Buhari, Chief Bayo Shittu, Honourable Remi Oseni, the son of late Ibadan politician, Chief Busari Adelakun and host of others.

He stated that APC has all that it takes to lead the state aright in 2027.

Adelakun described his governorship ambition as a divinely inspired mission, declaring that the project is timely and guided by a clear vision for the future of the state.

He added that his plan is built on what he called “Renewed Hope and Vision, aimed at delivering a better life for residents of Oyo State.

According to him, his administration, if elected, will focus on putting the needs of the people first in all policies and programmes.

He explained that his agenda is anchored on People-Oriented Development (POD), a strategy designed to ensure that government decisions directly improve the daily lives of citizens.

The aspirant stated that by May 29, 2027, his administration would prioritise key sectors, including education, healthcare, agriculture, security, economic growth, and social welfare. He noted that the goal is to make essential services more accessible and improve the overall standard of living across the state.

He further assured that special attention would be given to youths, women, and vulnerable groups. According to him, plans are in place to create opportunities through skills acquisition programmes, financial support, and initiatives that will help residents become self-reliant in their chosen careers and businesses.
