Oyo 2027: G7 Honourables Endorse Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo

By Ibrahim Kegbegbe

Support continues to grow for Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo following his decision to contest the Oyo Central Senatorial seat under the platform of Allied Peoples Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the G7 Honourables within the party have publicly endorsed his aspiration.

The political support group, made up of prominent grassroots leaders within the APM, congratulated Ajadi on purchasing the party’s senatorial nomination form, describing the move as a significant step toward deepening democratic participation and broadening political alternatives in Oyo State.

In a statement jointly signed by the group’s Coordinating Leader, Honourable Kilamuwaye Badmus; Secretary, Honourable Funso Jide Adekunle; and Assistant Coordinator, Honourable Semiu Akingbala, alongside Honourables Fatai Adenaiya, Olaoluwa Akinsola Akinwande, Jeremiah Atele, and Biola Sanusi, the leaders declared Ajadi as the most credible candidate to represent the people of Oyo Central in the upper legislative chamber.

According to the group, Ajadi’s political journey, philanthropic interventions, and consistent engagement with communities across Oyo State have positioned him as a dependable leader whose emergence would bring responsive representation to the district.

They noted that his senatorial ambition is not merely a political contest but a mission driven by service, youth inclusion, and community development.

The G7 Honourables praised Ajadi’s record as a grassroots mobilizer and progressive politician, saying his long-standing commitment to empowerment programmes, educational support, and humanitarian outreach has earned him admiration among party members and ordinary residents alike.

“Ambassador Ajadi remains a symbol of hope for many young people and underserved communities in Oyo Central. His aspiration reflects the desire of the people for a leader who understands their challenges and is prepared to champion their interests at the National Assembly,” the statement read.

Ajadi, who recently declared his intention to contest the senate seat, has been gaining momentum within the APM, especially among youth groups and ward-level stakeholders who see his candidacy as an opportunity to strengthen the party’s presence in Oyo State politics.

Political observers say the Oyo Central contest may attract significant attention as parties begin early realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, with emerging aspirants already mobilizing support across the district.

The Merit Newspaper reports that the G7 Honourables reaffirmed their loyalty to Ajadi and pledged to intensify grassroots mobilization in all local government areas within Oyo Central to ensure his success at both the party primary and the general election.

They also called on party faithful and residents of the senatorial district to support what they described as a credible and people-oriented aspiration capable of bringing meaningful legislative impact.

Ajadi’s entrance into the race is expected to reshape political conversations in Oyo Central, particularly within the APM, as the build-up to the 2027 polls gathers momentum across Oyo State.

​APC Carnage: Political Titans Smashed In Ruthless Power Purge

​ABUJA – Severe institutional panic and an unprecedented bloodbath have hit the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following a wave of crushing, humiliating defeats dealt to self-styled political godfathers, serving senators, and former governors in the party’s just-concluded internal primaries.

​Reportedly, the primaries turned into a fatal political graveyard for major party titans. Among the massive casualties are billionaire lawmaker and recent PDP-defector Senator Ned Nwoko; former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege; Ogun State powerbroker Ibikunle Amosun; his structural rival Gbenga Daniel; and the embattled former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha.

​

Sources within the APC National Working Committee (NWC) revealed that the widespread slaughter of these “big wigs” was deliberately engineered by ruthless state executive coalitions and current governors. They weaponized the party’s direct primary and consensus model to completely liquidate old political empires ahead of the general elections.

​Delta North: Billionaire Ned Nwoko Left Stranded with Only 3 Votes

​Perhaps the most embarrassing and staggering defeat occurred in Delta North, where billionaire lawyer and luxury-loving politician Senator Ned Nwoko was thoroughly pulverized by the immediate past Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa.

Nwoko, who caused a stir by dumping the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to secure a reelection ticket under the APC, learned the hard way that billionaire status means nothing against a ruthless state machinery. Okowa coasted to a landslide victory with 113,309 votes, leaving Nwoko biting the dust with a pathetic 2,612 total votes. In Ward 9 (Okpanam), Nwoko was reduced to a political lightweight, scoring an abysmal three votes against Okowa’s 4,462.

​Insiders allege that Nwoko’s political execution was sealed after he fell out with regional party stakeholders over the Okpai Independent Power Plant (IPP) stepdown project. “Ned thought his deep pockets and social media clout could save him. The APC structure simply swallowed him alive,” a Delta party chieftain claimed.

​Delta Central: Omo-Agege Tasted Betrayal as Subordinate Claims Ticket

​The political slaughter in Delta State was not limited to Nwoko. In Delta Central, former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege suffered an unexpected, devastating structural coup. Omo-Agege, widely seen as the alpha-male of Delta APC who risked his life to build the party’s local framework, was soundly beaten by his own political beneficiary, the incumbent Senator Ede Dafinone.

​Dafinone secured a staggering 116,252 votes, while Omo-Agege was left stranded with a meager 3,643 votes. Sources close to Omo-Agege allege a “macabre betrayal,” pointing out that state apparatus elements quietly aligned with Dafinone to strip the former DSP of his remaining structural leverage.

​The Ogun Bloodbath: Amosun Demolished By His Former Staff

​Over in the Southwest, the political bloodletting was equally severe. In Ogun Central, former Governor Ibikunle Amosun did not just lose; he was politically castrated by his former aide and political underling, Shuaib Afolabi.

​Amosun, who for years ruled Ogun APC like a personal fiefdom, was completely rejected by delegates acting under strict executive directives from the state government. Afolabi “crushed” his former boss, signaling a brutal end to Amosun’s godfather ambitions in the senatorial district. Simultaneously, in Ogun East, former Governor Gbenga Daniel’s machinery disintegrated under intense pressure, proving his relevance has effectively hit ground zero.

Imo West: Rochas Okorocha’s Empire Reduced To Rubble

​In Imo State, Governor Hope Uzodinma completed his long-awaited project: the absolute political liquidation of former Governor Rochas Okorocha. Okorocha, whose past regime was defined by nepotism and bizarre monuments, was completely starved of delegates and structural lifelines.

 The state machinery was aggressively deployed to ensure Okorocha did not recover a single breathing slot, effectively turning him into a political nomad within the party he helped build.

​The Implosion Warning: To complicate matters for the ruling party, these disgraced heavyweights are now legally cornered. Under the newly enacted Electoral Act 2026, any disgruntled politician who tries to jump ship to another party faces a strict two-year jail term or a N10 million fine for dual membership.
