Irepo LGA Chairman Endorses Beulah Adeoye’s 2027 Gubernatorial Bid for Oyo State

A major political development unfolded in Irepo Local Government Area as the Chairman, Hon. Taoheed Tunde Olayiwola, hosted Beulah Adeoye and his support team in a strategic consultation meeting ahead of the 2027 Oyo State gubernatorial elections. The meeting was held at the Local Government Secretariat in Kishi and drew key stakeholders and party operatives from across the region.

Chairman Olayiwola hailed Adeoye’s decision to pursue the governorship as a “bold and timely move” that offers the Oke-Ogun zone an opportunity to raise its profile in state politics. He called on residents of the zone and the wider state to unite behind Adeoye’s ambition, arguing that regional inclusion must be matched by credible leadership and shared vision.

In his remarks, Adeoye thanked the Chairman and attendees for their hospitality and underscored his campaign’s emphasis on inclusiveness. He emphasised that his tour of Irepo LG and other parts of the state is not motivated solely by personal ambition but by the desire to ensure that the Oke-Ogun region is actively integrated into the broader political scheme of Oyo State.

Adeoye referenced pledges made by the state party leadership—particularly the assurance that zoning arrangements will accommodate the Oke-Ogun region—and encouraged unity of purpose and collective responsibility to turn those commitments into reality. His message resonated with party executives who had, in previous meetings, indicated readiness to ensure equity for the zone.

The consultation event featured a roll-call of political leaders, women-group heads, and youth organisers—all of whom described Adeoye’s candidacy as an opportunity for renewed hope and representation. The presence of Pa Ayinde Ogede and others signalled that this ambition enjoys backing beyond the immediate community, extending to broader coalition networks.

However, while the endorsement is significant, it also places pressure on Adeoye to deliver a campaign anchored in tangible policies and clear messaging. Political analysts note that endorsements by local leaders must be followed by structured mobilisation, issue-based engagement and strategic alliances if the ambition is to translate into electoral success.

For the people of Irepo and the Oke-Ogun region, the moment represents a crossroads: whether to rally behind a local aspirant with state-wide ambition, or remain fragmented amid competing candidates and interests. The Chairman’s call for support may be a rallying cry—one that demands swift action from Adeoye’s team and coherent coordination among his supporters.

In the coming months, watchers will look out for how Adeoye expands his outreach beyond his home base, how he presents his governance agenda, and how the PDP handles internal zoning promises and candidate selection. The endorsement by Olayiwola is a strong start, but the journey to 2027 will test strength, strategy and sustained momentum.
