" Okeogun AWALOKAN" is the slogan for one of the strongest Okeogun youth groups, thus, Oke-Ogun Youth Movement.
The group led by its coordinator, Comrade Adeniyi Olabode, a medi
a guru spoke with the Publisher of kakaki Okeogun Online Media on the groundbreaking solidarity rally held
at OYSADA SPORTS COMPLEX SAKI two days ago.
He said Okeogun can no longer fill vacuum as second fiddle. Such position is demeaning and not bringing the expected development to the region.
In the mammoth crowd were the presence of very important personalities like Colonel
ADEGBOLA, Baale Sepeteri, immediate past Saki Parapo chairman Festus Adebayo, veteran journalist Sola Ailako and a host of others .
The Oke-Ogun area in Oyo State is gearing up to produce the next governor in 2027, with leaders and various groups getting no stones unturned to realize this. Adebayo Shittu, also said recently during an interview, a former Minister of Communications, it's time for Oke-Ogun to take a turn at the
governorship, citing that Ibadan has dominated the position since 1999, producing four out of five governors.
Shittu emphasized that Oke-Ogun will not settle for the deputy governorship position and is strategizing to ensure a candidate from the region emerges as governor. He criticized the notion that Ibadan's larger population justifies its dominance in governorship elections, arguing that not all Ibadan residents are indigenous to the city.
Other leaders, like Olaosebikan, are also urging Oke-Ogun to unite behind a single candidate to increase their chances of winning the governorship. This call for unity is seen as crucial in actualizing the region's ambition to produce the next governor.
The push for power rotation to Oke-Ogun is also based on the region's significant contribution to the state, with the second-largest number of local government areas. As the 2027 elections approach, the debate around power rotation and Oke-Ogun's chances of producing the next governor is likely to intensify.
