Ogun Monarch Urges Scrutiny of 2027 Gubernatorial Candidates
Oba Akintunde Akinyemi, the Eselu of Iselu Kingdom in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, called on residents to critically evaluate candidates for the 2027 gubernatorial election. Speaking during the commissioning of his private residence in Obada-Oko, he stressed that voters should not choose candidates based solely on party affiliation or ethnic sentiments.
He urged the media, civil society, and voters to investigate the backgrounds of those aspiring to succeed Governor Dapo Abiodun, stating that thorough scrutiny is essential for the future of the state. Akinyemi also addressed the ongoing crisis within the Ogun chapter of the All Progressives Congress, advocating for peace talks between factions led by Olamilekan Adeola and Abayomi Hunye, warning that unresolved disputes could harm the party's prospects in 2027.
He emphasized the role of traditional rulers in guiding their communities while remaining politically neutral.
