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.
