As Oyo State prepares for the 2027 general elections, many voters are looking beyond campaign slogans to leaders with proven records, clear vision and the capacity to sustain development.
Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration has been associated with investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, workers’ welfare, agriculture, and economic development across the state. Supporters argue that these achievements have laid a foundation that should be strengthened rather than abandoned.
Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate, has consistently stated that his ambition is to consolidate and expand on the progress already recorded in Oyo State. Following his emergence as the party’s candidate, he pledged to continue people-centred policies while introducing fresh ideas to accelerate development.
At the constituency level, Hon. Akinsete Olakunle has presented himself as a grassroots politician committed to quality representation, youth and women empowerment, community development, and responsive lawmaking for Ibadan South West Constituency II.
Together, this combination represents a message of continuity, innovation, and grassroots development. While Makinde’s administration provides the foundation, Adekanmbi seeks to build upon it at the state level, and Akinsete aims to ensure that the people of Ibadan South West Constituency II enjoy effective legislative representation.
Ultimately, the decision rests with the electorate. The 2027 election presents an opportunity for the people of Oyo State to assess the records, policies, and visions of all candidates before making their choice at the ballot box.
