ISEYIN, OYO STATE — As the 2027 elections approach, political scheming is gaining momentum in Oyo State. Various groups are vying for the gubernatorial seat, each trying to outmaneuver the others.
Recently, Saki Youth Stakeholders criticized Dr. Ojedokun Jonathan for attending a press conference in Iseyin, where he allegedly took sides on behalf of Okeogun Youth. The stakeholders, through Mr. Olaniyi, distanced themselves from Dr. Ojedokun’s position and clarified the interests of Saki sons and daughters.
In another development, an Ogbomosho based sociopolitical organization, the Joint Alliance Consolidated Organisation (JACO) has also spoken out against Dr. Ojedokun’s statement. According to JACO’s Publicity Secretary, Com. Adewuyi Caleb, “no zone has been anointed to produce a gubernatorial candidate. It’s politics, and every zone is in the race.”

JACO emphasized that they cannot allow Dr. Ojedokun to disparage the collective interests of Oyo State. With the 2027 elections looming, Oyo State’s three senatorial districts and seven geological zones are all vying for the top spot.
As JACO noted, “each zone is agitating for the exalted position in Oyo State. Since Oyo State is one big family, it’s not good for our polity to see someone carrying out conclusions that other zones have agreed upon with a particular zone.”
JACO concluded by stating that no one has the authority to dictate for the state, and they know whose interests Dr. Ojedokun is protecting.
“We know who he is working for. We don’t have a problem with him collecting whatever benefits from anyone, but it’s high time for him to stop speaking on behalf of Okeogun Zone 2. He can speak on behalf of Zone 1 if they are okay with him doing so.”
