Oyo State will see a new entrant in the 2027 governorship race as popular media personality Oriyomi Hamzat announced his intention to contest under the Accord Party. Hamzat, widely recognized as the founder of Agidigbo FM, has built a strong following across the state through his media work and community engagement, which he hopes will support his political ambitions.
The broadcaster made the announcement during a public event, declaring that he would no longer campaign for other politicians and would focus entirely on pursuing his own mandate from the people. By joining the Accord Party, Hamzat positions himself as an alternative to the dominant political parties in Oyo State, presenting a potential third-force option ahead of the elections.
Hamzat’s entry into the race is expected to influence early discussions and strategies among political stakeholders. He has begun consultations and preparations for the election, aiming to translate his media popularity into broad political support across the state.
This development marks a notable shift in the Oyo political landscape as the 2027 elections draw nearer, with attention now on how his campaign will unfold and its impact on voter preferences.
