This is because Governor Seyi Makinde is rounding up his second tenure in 2027 and the contest for his successor would be a strong contest between the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on the development, Titilope Anifowoshe, a legal practitioner, in an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, pointed out that the leading political parties, PDP and APC, would be major actors in the election, considering the unconventional history of politics in Oyo state.
She added that while the people are crucial in the fate of the state in 2027, conversations on governance, and party loyalty are other factors that would shape the emergence of the next governor in the state.
Anifowoshe said:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Ibadan people experienced a tense emotional moment on Thursday, January 16, as the residents of Aderinola Street and Adeyi Avenue held candlelight vigils for the 2024 explosion victims.
Last week, the Bodija Estate Residents’ Association announced the plan to hold remembrance possessions for the victims.
The association earlier held an interdenominational memorial service at the Bodija Estate Baptist Church, and a Juma’at prayer is scheduled for Friday, January 17.
