Recent party nominations and reconciliation efforts have kept the Oyo State governorship race tight ahead of the February 2027 election. APC nominee Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli secured the ticket after prevailing in the primary and has gained pledges of support from several former rivals following August 2026 meetings, while APM standard-bearer Abimbola Adekanmbi consolidated his position as consensus candidate. PDP’s Hazeem Gbolarumi and ADC’s Taofeek Adegoke also received formal confirmation, with INEC displaying the latter’s forms in late August. Persistent questions over primary transparency, potential cross-party alignments, and local preferences for an Ibadan Muslim candidate continue to influence trader assessments of the main contenders’ prospects.
