The Oyo State chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC) has unveiled Chief Saheed Oladele as its 2027 governorship candidate in Oyo State and Mrs. Damola Jaye as his running mate.
The party’s publicity secretary, Mr Ismail Olalekan, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Ibadan.
Olalekan said that Oladele’s emergence followed rigorous internal processes and consultations within the party, and with other stakeholders in Oyo State.
He said that his candidacy reflects the party’s commitment to presenting a candidate who understands the aspirations of ordinary residents of Oyo State and is prepared to advance the party’s principles.
The AAC publicity secretary described Oladele as a selfless leader whose candidacy in the party was a much awaited homecoming.
He also described Oladele as a committed Nigerian and a people-focused leader and educationist of repute with exceptional achievements in youth development and public affairs.
According to him, the duo of Oladele and Jaye represent an electoral platform focused on taking Oyo State back from the shackles of modern slavery, abject poverty, educational retrogression among others.
