Stakeholders of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ibarapaland have endorsed the Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin, for 2027 governorship race. This position was made known during a well-attended PDP Ibarapaland Stakeholders’ Zonal meeting held in Igboora, Ibarapa Central Local Government at the weekend.

The meeting, convened primarily to deliberate on the planned visit of Governor Seyi Makinde to the zone, evolved into a strategic political gathering where party leaders and grassroots mobilisers assessed the future of the party in the state.

In a strong show of unity, stakeholders passed a vote of confidence In the Speaker, hailing his leadership style, loyalty to the party and contributions to legislative stability in the state.  The endorsement went further, as leaders across the three local government areas in Ibarapaland urged the Speaker to formally declare his intention to contest the governorship election in 2027.

Responding to the call, the Speaker appreciated the support and honour given to him by the stakeholders and pledged his readiness to join the governorship race.

Ogundoyin described the endorsement as more than a political gesture, noting that it represented a call from his people in Ibarapaland and the wider populace of the state.
