Oyo 2027: Adekanmbi courts Eze Ndigbo, Seriki Sasa, pledges inclusive government
The governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Oyo State, Honourable Bimbo Adekanmbi, has assured traditional and community leaders that no ethnic group or community would be marginalised under his proposed administration.
Adekanmbi gave the assurance during separate meetings with the leadership of Eze Ndigbo and Seriki Sasa at his Jericho Campaign Office, Ibadan, on Friday, November 13, 2026, as consultations ahead of the 2027 governorship election intensify.
He reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive governance, equitable representation and equal opportunities, irrespective of ethnic background, religion, political affiliation or social status.
The former commissioner also highlighted his decision to publish his governorship manifesto in English, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo, describing it as a practical demonstration of his commitment to ensuring that every resident understands his vision for the state.
He said Oyo State’s diversity should be regarded as a source of strength rather than division, stressing that every community deserved a voice in governance and an opportunity to contribute to the state’s development.
According to him, effective leadership goes beyond making promises to actively listening to the people, understanding their concerns and ensuring their participation in decision-making.
Adekanmbi also pledged to prioritise community-centred development, fairness in political appointments, participatory governance and policies that guarantee equal opportunities for all residents.
He said his Omituntun 3.0 Agenda was anchored on unity, inclusiveness, shared prosperity and sustainable development, adding that meaningful progress would be impossible if any segment of the population felt excluded.
The APM candidate assured the community leaders that his administration would sustain regular consultations with diverse interest groups, noting that every community must have a sense of belonging in the collective pursuit of a greater Oyo State.
