Oyo State Gubernatorial 2027 : Senator Abdulfatai Omotayo Buhari: The Man To Reposition Oyo State For Exponential Growth And Development – Hon Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala

Oyo State Guber 2027 : Senator Abdulfatai Omotayo Buhari: The Man To Reposition Oyo State For Exponential Growth and Development – Hon Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala

 

The lawmaker representing Ogbomoso North/South/Oriire Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala, has thrown his weight behind the Ogbomoso Born Senator AbdulFatai Omotayo Buhari PhD, in his aspiration to become the next Governor of Oyo State in 2027 under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Chairman, House Committee on Youths In Parliament made this public assertion on his official facebook.

 

According to Hon Alao Akala, his declaration is not borne out of the fatter to son relationship between the duo but  because of the antecedents, capability, character, ability and responsiveness of the current Most Ranking senior senator from the South West.

His posts which has gone viral reads this ;

I recently had an incredibly interesting conversation with a close friend in Ogbomoso about the state of the nation. In that conversation, we dive into the future of our dear, Oyo State.

 

Our state has truly set the pace in visionary and strategic leadership since its formation fifty years ago. Both the military and civilian administrators have done their best to place the state on the pedestal of greatness. But like Oliver Twist, more still needs to be done to sustain the legacy of the past and inspire the generations to come.

 

That is where we agreed that for the future of our state, backing a competent, compassionate and experienced leader is a precondition for that sustainability.

 

Speaking of competence, character, capacity, compassion and experience, my friend and I believe that Senator Abdulfatai Omotayo Buhari ticked all the boxes. For years, as a record breaking politician, astute public servant and a reliable leader, Senator BAF has demonstrated remarkable competence, clarity, capacity, compassion and strategic thinking as a veteran public servant. As a matter of fact, I am not saying this because of the father and son relationship between us. Far deeper than that.

 

From his stewardship as the lawmaker that represented Ogbomoso North, South and Orire Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives (2003-2007), to serving as a Special Adviser to the former Governor of Oyo State, late Senator Abiola Ajimobi and later as the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

 

The success story of the Distinguished Senator Fatai Buhari, the quiet, humble, unassuming and diligent public servant stood as a testament to his purposeful leadership. In essence, the foundation he built as a public servant in those years prepared him for the onerous and rewarding task of serving the good people of Oyo North Senatorial District in the red chamber.

 

For the past ten years, Senator BAF has combined legislative excellence with deep knowledge of grassroot politics to deliver on his mandate while inspiring the people with presence, empowerment, connection and compassion. His integrity, innovative thinking and robust academic qualifications with a Doctorate Degree in Public Policy, has further positioned him for the highest office in Oyo State.

 

By 2027, the ancient city of Ibadan would have ruled the state for a record, uninterrupted and unbroken sixteen years in power. I am convinced that it is time to bring back the mantle of Governorship back to Ogbomoso. We have an extremely qualified and seasoned public servant in BAF, so why not?

 

Without mincing words, I can categorically state that the quest for power rotation is not an Ogbomoso thing alone. By far, it is the single rallying point for other regions that have felt the pangs of marginalisation and exclusion over the past 16 years of unprecedented representation of Ibadan in the Governor’s Office in Agodi.

 

Although, in Ogbomoso and across Oyo State, there is no doubt that the Gubernatorial aspiration of the Distinguished Senator Fatai Omotayo Buhari in 2027 has become a statewide Clarion call.

 

Hon Alao Akala called all lovers of good governance to support the gubernatorial aspiration of the most performing senator in the history of Oyo State.

To this end, I call on our people across Oyo State to back an OMOLUABI with a proven track record of excellence, performance and leadership; a compassionate, courageous and visionary leader whose mission for our state is driven by his love for our PEOPLE.
