Hon. Adedeji Dhikrullahi Stanley Olajide has emerged as the Allied Peoples Movement‘s (APM) candidate for the Oyo South Senatorial District election in the upcoming 2027 general election.
The emergence of Hon. Olajide, who currently serves as the federal lawmaker for the Ibadan North-west/Ibadan South-west constituency, followed the party’s primary election and affirmation exercise conducted across the nine local government areas of the senatorial district.
The exercise, which was monitored by the electoral regulatory body INEC, party officials and delegates, was described as peaceful, transparent and orderly, reflecting the growing unity and internal cohesion within the party ahead of the forthcoming elections.
Consensus Drives Allied Peoples Movement Primary
The successful Adedeji Dhikrullahi Stanley Olajide nomination came after an internal consensus process that united various factions within the political party. Rather than facing a divisive internal battle, the party chose a path of collaboration. This joint agreement by the political leaders directly led to an affirmation exercise conducted across all nine local government areas that make up the southern district.
Olajide’s nomination was subsequently affirmed by the nine local government chairmen of the Allied Peoples’ Movement in Oyo south senatorial district in the presence of party executives, stakeholders and supporters.

This structural harmony could give the organisation a distinct advantage as the broader Oyo South senatorial district election campaign begins to intensify.
