Adegoke and Olopoeyan Meet Ahead of 2027 Oyo Elections
On Thursday night, Olooye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Governorship Candidate in Oyo, held a closed-door meeting with Alhaji Abdul-Rasheed Adebisi Olopoeyan, a chieftain of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), at Olopoeyan's residence in Basorun, Ibadan. Adegoke was accompanied by Alhaja Kafilat Omolabake Olayiwola, the ADC Deputy National Women Leader (Southwest).
Although the specifics of their discussion were not disclosed, it is believed to be related to the 2027 Governorship race in Oyo State. Adegoke and Olopoeyan were previously political allies in the Peoples Democratic Party before transitioning to their current parties.
Tensions have arisen recently between Olopoeyan and Oyo State Governor Engr Seyi Makinde, the Presidential Candidate of the APM, over candidate nominations for the December 2026 Local Government Elections, indicating a complex political landscape leading up to the 2027 general elections.
