APM Critiques Senator Alli's Fried-Fish Political Stunt

The Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Oyo criticized Senator Sharafadeen Alli (Oyo South) for his recent roadside fried-fish outing, calling it “political theatrics” intended to project him as a grassroots politician ahead of the 2027 governorship election. Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, Co-Director of Media and Publicity for the Oyo State APM Governorship Campaign Council, stated that the party's candidate, Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi, is committed to authentic engagement with the electorate.

Olanrewaju argued that the electorate can distinguish between genuine concern and attention-seeking activities during election seasons. He described Alli’s fried-fish outing as a desperate attempt to create an image of humility that does not align with his previous lifestyle.

Olanrewaju asserted that true grassroots politics requires consistent service and sincerity, not staged performances. He also alleged that wealthy individuals associated with Alli were attempting to influence voters through cash inducements, which he deemed desperate and ineffective.

Olanrewaju urged Alli to focus on policy proposals and his vision for Oyo State instead of distractions.
