Oyo 2027: AKK support group urges APC to prioritise strategy over sentiment in guber selection. A support group advocating the emergence of Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK) as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the 2027 elections has urged the party to prioritise strategy over sentiment in its selection process. In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by its head, Sunday Ademoroti, the AKK Support Group warned that the APC must avoid repeating past mistakes that, according to it, cost the party electoral victories in Oyo State. The group argued that ongoing national reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would largely be determined by performance at the subnational level, stressing that state governors now play a decisive role in governance delivery and impact. It described Oyo State as standing at a critical political crossroads, where the APC must decide between entrenched political patterns and presenting a candi...

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.

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...

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.
