Oyo State APC Governorship Candidate, Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli, has held a strategic meeting with former Special Advisers (SAs) and Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) who served under the administration of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

The meeting, held in Ibadan, was aimed at strengthening political collaboration, fostering unity among stakeholders and charting a common direction for the APC ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.

Senator Alli, while addressing the gathering, acknowledged the wealth of experience and institutional knowledge possessed by the former political appointees, describing them as critical stakeholders whose contributions could strengthen the party’s campaign and grassroots mobilisation efforts.

He stressed the need for all members of the progressive family to work together, putting aside individual interests and differences in the larger interest of the APC and the people of Oyo State.

According to him, the experience of those who served under the Ajimobi administration remains valuable to the party, particularly as the APC seeks to present a credible and development-oriented alternative to the people of the state.

The APC governorship candidate called for greater engagement among party leaders, former political office holders, grassroots mobilisers and other stakeholders, noting that unity and effective coordination would be essential to achieving electoral success.

Senator Alli also assured the former SAs and SSAs that their views, experience and recommendations would be given due consideration in shaping the party’s strategies and programmes ahead of the election.

The meeting featured extensive discussions on the political situation in Oyo State, grassroots mobilisation, party unity, effective communication with the electorate and the need to develop a winning strategy ahead of the 2027 poll.

The former Ajimobi aides, in their various contributions, expressed their readiness to support efforts aimed at strengthening the APC and advancing the party’s interests across the state.

During the engagement, he described young people as an integral part of the APC’s present leadership and political strength, urging them to remain united, disciplined and focused as the party works towards 2027.

He also called on the youth leaders to take the party’s message of hope, progress, opportunity and inclusive governance to wards and communities across Oyo State.

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has said he would not interfere in the administration of Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi if the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate wins the 2027 election.

Speaking at the Hijrah 1448/2026 luncheon on Monday, Makinde said that if he is not in Abuja in 2027, referring to the possibility of not winning the presidential election, he would allow Adekanmbi to run his administration without political imp0sitions and would not act as a godfather.

Makinde also warned politicians against approaching him to influence decisions in an Adekanmbi administration based on their relationship with him.

He urged those seeking to have a good working relationship with Adekanmbi and his team to support him now and work directly with them towards his victory, rather than relying on Makinde to influence the incoming administration on their behalf.

According to Makinde, nobody influenced his own administration, and he would not seek to influence Adekanmbi’s decisions if elected.

Before I proceed with my thoughts on Governor Makinde and the fresh dilemma before him, it is important to touch on a news that broke out on Sunday evening.

This time around, Oyo APC is leaving no margin for error in its desire to occupy the Agodi Government House in 2027.

The Reconciliation Committee jointly headed by Chief Olufemi Lanlehin and Professor Tahoreed Adedoja recorded a major breakthrough in its assignment of reconciling aggrieved gubernatorial aspirants under the All Progressives Congress, APC.

It was announced, on Sunday evening, that the former Deputy Governor, Engr Rauf Olaniyan, Engr Akeem Alao, Dr. Bakare Usman Ololade and Prince Musbau Asanike have agreed to support the Candidature of Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli PhD.

This is a very welcome development and such that would cause headaches within the ranks of the Allied People’s Movement, APM.

In particular, the case of the former Deputy Governor, Engr Rauf Olaniyan is bound to be sad news in the ears of the APM. Most of them have been celebrating prematurely, after listening to an interview granted by the former Deputy Governor a couple of weeks ago.

I recollect a particular instance, when I was a guest on a Radio station. One of the callers was so sure that Engr Olaniyan’s interview signalled a decision to leave the APC for the APM.

I told the particular caller that his wishes will forever remain a dream because the Engr Olaniyan that I know very well, is not only a principled and an intelligent person. He is also not an irrational human being. I have to acknowledge the efforts of the Leaders and Elders of the party who have been working day and night to ensure that all goes well this time around for the APC.

I also have to acknowledge the sacrifices of the aspirants who have chosen the collective good over personal ambitions. They have done this, not for themselves, but for the party at large and Oyo state in general.

I sympathize with the APM. The snare they set for the patridge has ended up catching a monitor lizard. (Okun ti won de fun aparo, agilinti lo mu).

The positive development from Oyo APC is not too far from the issue I had in mind. (SWIPE>>>)

Governor Seyi Makinde has responded to some of the comments and crlticlsms directed at him by some candidates campaigning for the 2027 Oyo State governorship election.

Speaking in a video shared today, Makinde said he had seen some candidates campaigning while repeatedly using his name, with one claiming that he was the person who brought him into politics and another crlticlsing him over things he allegedly falled to do in the state.

Makinde stressed that he has no intention of contesting for Governor, saying Oyo people have already given him the opportunity to serve them.

He urged those seeking to succeed him to focus on telling Oyo people what they intend to do for the state rather than using his name as a campaign talking point.

“Go and tell the people of Oyo State what you want to do for them and stop using me for your campaign,” Makinde said.

He also told those crltlcising his administration to confront Bimbo Adekanmbi and his team, while advising individuals to explain what they intend to do differently and “from where I stopped.”

Governor Seyi Makinde has directed the free allocation of 177 newly constructed shops and stalls to documented roadside traders at the Agodi-Gate Market in Ibadan.

The governor gave the directive on Friday, August 7, 2026, during the commissioning of projects executed by the Ibadan North-East Local Government.

The newly constructed market facilities comprise 69 lock-up shops and 108 open stalls, bringing the total to 177 trading spaces. The projects also include a motor park, road network and other supporting infrastructure.

Makinde directed that roadside traders whose names have been properly documented should be relocated into the new trading spaces free of charge.

He also warned against any attempt to demand payment from beneficiaries for the allocation, urging traders to report anyone who asks them for money.

The initiative is expected to provide traders with a more organised trading environment while helping to address roadside trading and improve traffic flow around the Agodi-Gate axis.
