The Governorship Candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Oyo State, Hon. Kunle Olatunji (KTJ), has reaffirmed his confidence in securing victory at the 2027 governorship election, assuring supporters and the people of Oyo State that the ADP will emerge as the preferred choice at the polls.
Olatunji stated that the growing acceptance of the ADP across the state reflects the yearning of the people for a credible alternative after years of disappointment under successive administrations of the two dominant political parties.
Speaking during a series of media engagements, the ADP standard bearer expressed confidence that his candidacy would redefine the political landscape of Oyo State, describing the 2027 election as a turning point in the state’s democratic journey.
According to him, the people of Oyo State deserve visionary, purposeful and people-oriented leadership capable of restoring the state’s status as the true Pace Setter in governance, economic prosperity and human capital development.
“Our administration will introduce a total overhaul of the leadership and governance architecture of Oyo State. We shall pursue a development-driven agenda anchored on competence, accountability, empathy and collective responsibility,” Olatunji said.
He explained that his governing philosophy is built on the principle of collectivism, where every indigene and resident of Oyo State will have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to governance through collaboration, inclusiveness and shared responsibility.
“We shall harness our abundant human capital and natural resources while leveraging the strategic economic and geographical advantages of Oyo State to restore the developmental ideals championed by the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and other visionary leaders of the South-West.”
Olatunji noted that the ADP continues to attract widespread support because of its commitment to integrity, competence and purposeful leadership, qualities he said have become scarce within the present political environment.
“We are determined to offer Oyo people a credible alternative. Our leadership represents intellectual capacity, sincerity, empathy, sound understanding of the people’s needs and the ability to inspire trust and confidence.”
The governorship candidate observed that although the ADP may still be regarded by some as an underdog, the party’s growing popularity and expanding grassroots support across the state indicate that it is steadily becoming the preferred political platform among discerning voters.
“I assure our teeming supporters that their confidence in us will not be misplaced. By the grace of God and with the overwhelming support of the electorate, we shall record a historic victory in the 2027 general elections and reshape the political landscape of Oyo State.”
He further maintained that while many political parties are presently preoccupied with internal crises, factional disputes and leadership wrangling, the Action Democratic Party remains united, stable, disciplined and strategically positioned for electoral success.
“Our winning strategy is unique, people-centred and issue-based. It is designed to deliver a resounding victory that will become a reference point in Nigeria’s democratic history.”
Olatunji concluded by assuring the people that an ADP administration would provide effective, responsive and accountable governance driven by a genuine partnership between government and the people, with the ultimate goal of achieving sustainable development, economic prosperity and the rebirth of Oyo State.
“Together, we shall build a greater Oyo State where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive. The future is bright, and the time for purposeful leadership is now,” he said.
