Folarin, APC Stalwarts Visit Agidigbo Radio, Describe Oriyomi Hamzat as Uplifter of the Downtrodden and Supporter of Tinubu —By Kakaki Okeogun Media
Senator Teslim Folarin and other prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwarts have visited Agidigbo Radio, where they described its founder, Dr. Oriyomi Hamzat, as an uplifter of the downtrodden and a lover of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
During the visit, Senator Folarin reportedly acknowledged that despite Oriyomi Hamzat being the governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Oyo State, he believes in the policies of President Tinubu.
The statement has drawn attention to the political dynamics in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly the relationship between party affiliation, presidential support and the forthcoming governorship contest.
Oriyomi's Political Position Attracts Attention
Senator Folarin's remarks highlighted what he described as Hamzat's support for President Tinubu's policies, notwithstanding his political affiliation with the Accord Party.
Hamzat's position as the Accord Party's governorship candidate places him in a different political camp from the APC at the state level. However, Folarin's comments suggest that political differences do not necessarily prevent individuals from expressing support for the President's policies.
The development raises questions about the possible relationship between presidential and governorship election dynamics in Oyo State in 2027.
Will Oyo APC Reciprocate Oriyomi's Goodwill?
One of the most significant moments during the visit came when members of the press asked Senator Folarin whether the Oyo State APC would reciprocate Oriyomi Hamzat's goodwill towards President Tinubu.
In response, Folarin stated that discussions would take place after the presidential election and before the governorship election.
His response has left room for further political conversations about the relationship between Oriyomi Hamzat and the APC in Oyo State, as well as the possible implications of their respective political interests ahead of the 2027 elections.
Although Folarin's statement did not amount to a definite commitment by the APC to support Hamzat's governorship ambition, his reference to future discussions has drawn attention to the political calculations that may emerge between the presidential and governorship elections.
Political Implications for Oyo State
The visit to Agidigbo Radio and Folarin's comments have added another dimension to the unfolding political conversations in Oyo State.
With the 2027 general elections approaching, the relationship between political parties, influential personalities and supporters of President Tinubu is likely to remain a subject of public interest.
For now, the central message from Folarin's remarks is that Hamzat's political affiliation with the Accord Party does not, in his assessment, prevent him from believing in the policies of the President.
Whether the goodwill attributed to Hamzat will lead to any political understanding between him and the Oyo State APC remains a question for future discussions.
