Oyo 2027: I’m One of Capable Gubernatorial Hopefuls From Oke-Ogun Zone - Olaniyan

As the call for power shift and rotational governorship continues to gain traction in Oyo State, former Deputy Governor, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan has positioned himself as one of the capable gubernatorial hopefuls from the Oke-Ogun zone ahead of the 2027 elections.

Olaniyan made this declaration during an Iftar programme held at his country home in Igboho, Oorelope Local Government Area of Oyo State. The event brought together some news men and supporters underscoring the growing momentum behind Oke-Ogun’s quest for the governorship.

Speaking at the gathering, Olaniyan emphasized that the struggle for an Oke-Ogun indigene to become the next governor of Oyo State in 2027 takes top priority. He stressed that while he is personally interested in contesting, his ambition remains secondary to the overall goal of ensuring the zone finally produces the next governor.

“It is no longer just a mere agitation; it is an indisputable fact that the movement for an Oke-Ogun governor has begun earlier than ever before,” Olaniyan asserted.

He reaffirmed his commitment and readiness to enter the race but maintained that the overarching goal is justice and fairness in Oyo State’s rotational governorship system. According to him, the peaceful and civil advocacy for an Oke-Ogun governor aims to highlight the need for equity in the state’s political structure, ensuring that the marginalized zones have a fair shot at leadership.

On the prerequisites for the governorship seat, Olaniyan confidently stated that Oke-Ogun has no shortage of qualified candidates, both at home and in the diaspora. He emphasized that the zone is more than ready to produce a competent leader who meets all the necessary requirements to govern Oyo State effectively.

With a touch of humour, Olaniyan remarked that even if the zone produces nineteen aspirants, he is prepared to be the twentieth—signaling his unwavering determination to be part of the historic push for an Oke-Ogun governor.

His statement reinforces the growing political movement within Oyo State, as stakeholders from Oke-Ogun continue to press for their long-overdue turn at the helm of governance.

Olaniyan And Oyo 2027 Guber Race - Adesola Yaqub

The good people of the pacesetter state should do everything humanly possible to rescue the state from vultures. Our founding fathers would be in a state of sadness with the present situation of the legacies they struggled to build.

All indices to measure good governance have shown that the state is in a mess and this was the singular reason why *Rauf Olaniyan*, the former deputy governor was labelled a critique, as he believes that power should be accountable to the people. Power needs a voice of wisdom and truth, that was his stance in the administration, which they detest.

The education system in the state is in a sorry state. Local government funds have been massively mismanaged without transparency and accountability. Health sector is crying for help.

Light up project now disburse darkness. Legacy landed properties and amusement parks have been converted to private use in all sorts of guise and land grabbing is now the order of the day. Insecurity reigns, farmers have abandoned farms for fear of kidnapping and power in the state is now converging to authoritarianism and citizens with divergent views being locked up with reckless abandon. Commercial and economic activities are in comatose, citizens are reduced to paupers, effects of which is stampede and avoidable waste of lives. We cannot continue this trend and there’s an urgent need for us to call for and work for a change.

This beautiful state deserves a leader that is forward looking, a visionary with transformative leadership qualities, built on decades of experience, expertise and capacity to lead the people to transformation and prosperity. For a balanced, people-orientend and development-driven Oyo come 2027, *Rauf Olaniyan* is the most appropriate servant for the job.
He remains the face of hope and courage. This God blessed state deserves the best.
