The stage is set for a potentially thrilling 2027 Oyo governorship race, with Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders in Ibarapaland throwing their weight behind Adebo Ogundoyin. The Speaker's leadership, loyalty to the party, and role in maintaining legislative stability in the state have earned him the admiration of party stalwarts. A zonal meeting in Igboora saw party stakeholders pass a vote of confidence in Ogundoyin, urging him to officially declare his intention to run for governor in 2027. With a strong grassroots support base, Ogundoyin is widely expected to emerge as the preferred candidate of Governor Seyi Makinde, significantly shaping the dynamics of the race.
The endorsement is seen as a push for inclusive governance, unity, and sustained development across Oyo State. Key political figures, including House of Representatives member Anthony Adepoju and state commissioners Ademola Ojo and Wasilat Adegoke, were in attendance at the meeting.
The endorsement of Adebo Ogundoyin by PDP stakeholders in Ibarapaland marks a significant development in the 2027 Oyo governorship race. With the support of key party figures, Ogundoyin is well-positioned to become the preferred candidate of Governor Seyi Makinde. This could have far-reaching implications for the PDP and the wider political landscape in Oyo State. As the race for Oyo's top seat heats up, one thing is clear: the people of Oyo will be watching closely to see how this plays out.
