The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, has announced his intention to run in the 2027 governorship election in the state.
In a statement shared on his X page (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Ogundoyin said his decision came after wide consultations with party leaders and various interest groups.
He said, “Leaders and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) across Ibarapaland, at our zonal meeting today, made a clear and compelling call for me to throw my hat in the ring for the 2027 Governorship election in Oyo State.
“In direct response to this, I have formally declared my intention to contest. This decision goes beyond personal ambition.
“It is a responsibility shaped by the collective yearning of our people for focused, inclusive, and result-driven leadership.
“I am grateful for the confidence reposed in me, and I accept this responsibility with a clear understanding of the demands ahead and an unwavering commitment to serve with integrity and purpose.
“I also met with stakeholders in my constituency, Eruwa, Ibarapa East Local Government, where the message was equally firm and aligned.”
“Across board, the position is clear, our people are ready, and the moment is now. This is a defining step. The journey has begun.”
