OYO 2027: Why Akeem Agbaje is the APC’s Comeback Strategy By Olatunde Sanu

Image
As Oyo State begins to stir once again in anticipation of the 2027 gubernatorial election, the political atmosphere is thick with familiar currents — alignments, realignments, whispers of ambition, and renewed calculations among the key players. Within the All Progressives Congress (APC), the question that looms large is not whether the party will field a candidate, but whether it will field the right one. After two election cycles marked by internal disunity and avoidable losses, the APC in Oyo must now make a defining choice — between repeating the politics of personality and embracing the politics of purpose. And in this delicate balance stands one man whose temperament, loya lty, and consistency make him not just a viable option, but the party’s most strategic path to redemption: Akeem Agbaje. A Candidate Prepared, Not Paraded Unlike many perennial aspirants whose presence is sustained by noise or controversy, Akeem Agbaje’s political journey has been marked by quiet preparation an...

*TESLIM FOLARIN IS A WRONG AND A BAD CHOICE TO LEAD OUR RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE IN OYO STATE APC

Image
When the cause of a problem and division in the party claims to have been saddled with the responsibility of reconciliation in out party, it leads to predictable failed attempt and would only compound the crisis. As a critical part of those who created the problem in the first place, claiming  to want to reconcile raises a lot of red flags, such as biased decision-making, lack of trust, vendetta, and ultimately, superficial solutions or conclusions.  Teslim Folarin is naturally bereaved of transparency and integrity, being the progenitor of our party division right from when he joined the party; he is a complete misfit, a square peg in a round hole, and a wrong choice to lead a holistic and meaningful reconciliatory move for the party. His track record loudly speaks of dishonesty and tricksterish attributes that run far too deep to change.  There is no where in the world where one of the main creators would be entrused with resolving the crisis he created in a private mee...

*SENATOR TESLIM FOLARIN CAN'T USE ASO ROCK PICTURE WITH THE PRESIDENT TO RAILROAD US AGAIN IN OYO STATE APC~ ADEDOTUN AJAYI

Image
It's no more news that Sen Teslim Kolawole Folarin met with the president and took pictures with him which has been flying around on Social media space.  After the said  meeting between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sen Teslim Folarin, he came out to claim that the president had given him the mandate to go back to Oyo state and reposition the party. He came saying this, being his usual subtle approach and "JAGBA" tactics, which we all know is a disguise, because this has become a case of "Once beaten, twice shy".  For us to avoid being railroaded once again, Sen Teslim Folarin will need to give us written proof of his assignment from the president because we know that he had already set up a committee last week Thursday that will usurp the power of the state executive committee. We can't allow Sen Teslim Folarin to come with this narrative again and use it to hijack the party once again because that is all he knows how to do best. Oyo state APC members mus...

Women, Youth Are Pillars of State’s Future — Barr Akeem Agbaje Advocates Greater Women and Youth Inclusion in Governance

Image
Barr. Akeem Adedeji Agbaje, chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 2027 gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State, has reaffirmed his commitment to building an inclusive government that expands opportunities and deepens representation for women and young people in governance. According to him, the future of Oyo State’s growth and stability depends on how effectively its women and youth are empowered to contribute to public leadership, innovation, and enterprise. “A society that sidelines its women and youth cannot sustain progress,” it is not charity; it is the smartest investment any government can make in its own future.” He emphasized that despite their numerical strength and vast potential, women and youth in Oyo State remain underrepresented in decision-making structures and access to economic opportunities. To him, this imbalance has slowed development, weakened public trust, and deprived the state of fresh ideas needed for modern governance. Barr. Agbaje observed that wo...
