Ibadan-based ace broadcaster, Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat has picked the Expression of Interest Form for Oyo State governorship race under the platform of ACCORD Party ahead of the 2027 general election.
Hamzat, along with his teeming supporters were at the ACCORD party Secretariat, Yemetu, Ibadan to pick the governorship form.
Oriyomi Hamzat while speaking at the party’s Secretariat said he took a step that ma y people have been asking him for months. He said he has officially picked up my Expression of Interest Form.
While addressing people, he said it is no longer speculation, no longer consultation but he is fully in the race for the governorship of Oyo State in 2027.
“This decision is not about ambition for its own sake. It is about responsibility. It is about answering the call of our people who believe that governance in Oyo State can be closer, more responsive, and more humane.
“I also opened our Campaign Office at Isale Alfa, Labiran Ibadan. That office is not just a building, it is a working centre for the people, a place where ideas will be shared, where young people will be heard, and where our movement will be coordinated from the grassroots upward.
“Because let me be honest, power does not start from the top, It starts from the streets, from the wards, from the everyday people who carry the real burden of governance.
“That is why I also supported our party structure today with a vehicle for our executives. If we say we believe in grassroots politics, then we must invest in it, not just talk about it.
“I want the people of Oyo State to understand this: I am prepared and I am not coming into this race unsure. Unequivocally, I am coming in with clarity, with experience, and with the strength that comes from the people themselves.
“Let me reiterate that we are going to run a different kind of campaign, one that listens more than it speaks, one that includes more than it excludes, and one that focuses on real issues, not empty promises.
“To my teeming supporters, every young person, every market woman, every professional, and every community leader, I want you to know that this journey is yours as much as it is mine.
“And by the grace of God, we will see it through together.”
