2027: APC, PDP Administrations Have Failed Oyo People – ADP Governorship Candidate

The governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Oyo State, Kunle Olatunji, has accused successive administrations of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of failing the people of the state.

Olatunji made the allegation while speaking on the prospects of the ADP ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The ADP governorship hopeful noted that Oyo State has been governed by the APC and PDP since the return to democratic rule in 1999, but argued that both parties had failed to deliver people-centred governance.

In a statement made available to journalists on Tuesday in Ibadan, Olatunji expressed confidence that the ADP would end the dominance of the two major political parties in the state.

He alleged that successive administrations under the APC and PDP failed to implement projects that directly improved the lives of residents.

According to him, Oyo State deserves visionary, purposeful and people-oriented leadership capable of restoring the state's reputation as the "Pace Setter."

Olatunji also said the increasing support for the ADP across the state demonstrates that many residents are seeking an alternative to the existing political order.

"The growing acceptance of 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.

 "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," he said.

Olatunji's remarks come as political parties begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Oyo State, with campaigns expected to intensify in the coming months.
