2027: Win Oyo or Lose It Again: APC Must Choose Strategy Over Sentiment. — A Statement by AKK Support Group. As Nigeria undergoes critical reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one reality is becoming increasingly clear: the success or failure of these reforms will largely be determined at the state level. Governors today are not ceremonial figures; they are the engines that drive delivery, execution, and real impact. Oyo State now stands at a defining crossroads. For the All Progressives Congress (APC), the choice is straightforward but consequential. The party can either repeat familiar political patterns that have previously led to setbacks, or it can embrace a more strategic path by presenting a candidate capable of uniting the party and delivering results. From our considered position, that path points clearly to Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK). This election must move beyond the usual metrics of popularity and political noise. Oyo State do...

2027 and Beyond: AKK Positions Competence Over Politics in Oyo Race.  It was an immense honour to stand before the respected and dearing assembly of the Ibadan Progressive Association Australia (IPAA) during the 10th Anniversary celebration. Engaging with our brothers and sisters in the diaspora is always a profound reminder that the spirit of the Pacesetter State knows no geographical boundaries. My address to the association was centered on a singular, unwavering theme: the urgent need to bridge the gap between our current realities in Oyo State and the sophisticated, functional society we all envision. I shared my deep-seated commitment to serve our people with a passion that is backed by lofty, progressive ideas; reforms that are not designed for the aesthetics of a campaign but for the real and systemic transformation of our beloved state.  During our deliberations, I took the opportunity to distill the core pillars of my vision, speci...

Oyo 2027: Olubadan’s Wisdom Key to Future Development — Adewale Kareem. In keeping with the timeless traditions of my heritage and as an illustrious son of the soil, on Friday, April 10, 2026, I had the distinct honour of being received in audience by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa I. This royal visit to the palace was a significant opportunity to pay homage to a father and a sovereign whose life has been a repository of service and dedication to the people. While our discussions centered on a couple of pertinent issues of mutual concern, the atmosphere was one of deep cultural resonance and paternal warmth which underscores the vital connection between the contemporary aspirations of the younger generation and the enduring custody of our historical heritage.  I have always maintained that the royal institution is the bedrock of our collective identity and the fundamental root of o...

Oyo guber: I’ll be APC’s vessel to reclaim Agodi — Adewale Kareem. Yesterday Friday April 10, I had the distinct honour of visiting the APC State Secretariat in Oke Ado, Ibadan for a high-level physical interaction with the leadership of our great party. Beyond the strategic consultations, the primary catalyst for my visit was to personally extend my warmest congratulations to our State Chairman, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Moses Alake Adeyemo, on his stellar achievement in successfully defending his PhD thesis at the University of Ibadan. Standing before him, I recognised not just a political leader, but a fellow scholar who has demonstrated that the pursuit of excellence is a continuous journey. This meeting afforded us a noteworthy moment of intellectual camaraderie which reinforced the fact that the Oyo APC is a house built on the dual pillars of veteran experience and academic sophistication.  The visit provided me with the privilege of furt...

Oyo Needs Structure, Not Just Programmes — AKK Campaign Message Resonates

Oyo Needs Structure, Not Just Programmes — AKK Campaign Message Resonates Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have been called upon to rally support for Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem, whose policy proposals are being presented as a shift toward sustainable economic growth and institutional reform in the state. The call comes amid growing conversations within the party on the need for a new direction, with proponents of Kareem’s candidacy arguing that Oyo State’s challenges are less about the absence of programmes and more about weak structures, poor sustainability, and lack of accountability. Kareem, popularly known as AKK, is positioning himself as an ideas-driven candidate with a focus on building systems that deliver long-term results rather than short-term political gains. Central to his agenda is what he describes as a “credit culture revolution,” which seeks to introduce a technology-driven credit scoring system linked ...
