OYOSUBEB Chairman Adeniran Joins 2027 Oyo Governorship Race

The Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, has officially declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Oyo State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement issued on Monday, Adeniran said his decision to join the 2027 governorship race followed extensive consultations with political stakeholders, supporters and community leaders across the state, as well as deep reflection and prayers.

According to him, his ambition is driven by a commitment to consolidate the achievements of the administration of Seyi Makinde and ensure the continued development of Oyo State.

Adeniran noted that he had earlier hinted at his governorship ambition during a radio appearance months ago, where he publicly disclosed his interest in leading the state.

“I am offering myself to serve as Governor of Oyo State, not out of ambition but out of conviction; not for power, but for purpose; not to be celebrated, but to empower,” he said.

The OYOSUBEB chairman highlighted his extensive experience in public administration, noting that he has served as a Local Government Chairman, Commissioner and a member of several state and federal boards. According to him, these roles provided him with administrative exposure and grassroots engagement, helping him understand the diverse challenges facing communities across Oyo State.

Adeniran also praised Governor Makinde, describing him as a visionary leader whose administration has brought significant transformation to the state through its development programme popularly known as the Omituntun agenda. He pledged that if elected governor, he would sustain and strengthen the policies and reforms introduced by the current administration.

“Continuity is the foundation of sustainable progress, and Oyo State deserves nothing less,” he said.

Outlining his vision for the state, Adeniran said his administration would focus on improving access to quality education, promoting youth empowerment and job creation, strengthening security across communities, expanding infrastructure development, and encouraging innovation and inclusive governance.

“My vision is simple: a state where every child has access to quality education, where our youths do not have to leave home to find opportunity, and where security is guaranteed for every citizen,” he said.

Adeniran further emphasized the importance of strengthening the civil service, promising improved welfare, regular training and merit-based opportunities for government workers.

He added that his administration would focus on creating jobs for young people by supporting entrepreneurship, attracting investments and expanding sectors such as education, agriculture, technology and small-scale industries.

The governorship aspirant therefore called on residents of Oyo State to support his ambition, expressing optimism that collective efforts would help build a stronger and more prosperous state.
