As the 2027 campaign season gathers momentum, the contest for the Oyo South Senatorial Election 2027 took a dramatic turn when Honourable Adedeji Dhikrullahi Olajide Odidiomo embarked on an intensive 80-hour political safari across Ibarapaland. Snaking through the rolling agrarian countryside from Ibadan, the high-powered Adedeji Olajide Odidiomo APM campaign motorcade journeyed directly into Igangan, Ibarapa-North. There, Odidiomo received a rousing welcome from Hon. Dr Anthony Adebayo Adepoju (Ibarapakan) and key political stalwarts of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM).
Strategic Grassroots Engagement Across Ibarapaland Political Tour
Without delay, the political delegation joined hundreds of faithful for the eighth-day Fidau prayer for the late Grand Chief Imam of Iganganland and President of the League of Imams and Alfas in Ibarapaland, Fadhilat Sheikh Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Fasasi Orimadegun. The team offered solemn supplications before launching into high-energy strategy sessions with party supporters across Igangan and Ayete, alongside a pivotal roundtable with the League of Imams.
The political momentum swelled on Friday, 9 October 2027, as Odidiomo shifted his focus to the historic commercial hub of Ibarapa-Central. Treading busy market pathways for hours, the lawmaker listened intently to the daily struggles of traders in Igboora before joining worshippers for Jum’at prayers at the Igboora Central Mosque.
Following prayers, Odidiomo led a colourful procession to the palace of the Olu of Igboora, Oba Jimoh Titiloye. The traditional ruler offered royal blessings for Odidiomo’s ambition to represent Oyo South Senatorial District under the APM banner. Later that afternoon, he hosted a joint town hall with the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), presenting a deeply empathetic, people-first agenda that won praise from workers and retirees alike.

His presence across every quarter of Igboora energized the local community. Supporters noted that his ambition for the Oyo South seat reflects a genuine passion for equitable development and economic emancipation across all nine local government areas.
Demands for Infrastructure and Security Support for Oyo South
The marathon tour reached its climax on Sunday at the Rev. Longley Memorial Methodist Cathedral, Oke-Agogo, Igboora, during the 2nd Annual Diocesan Harvest of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Ibarapa Diocese. Delivering an address on the theme “Harvest of Fruitfulness,” Odidiomo issued a passionate call for federal intervention in the region’s pressing security and structural challenges.
He urged the federal authorities to revitalize the Igangan Grazing Reserve, restore the federal security presence lost after the removal of the Lanlate Army barracks, and repair damaged telecommunications infrastructure across Ibarapaland.
As the historic 80-hour consultation concluded, Odidiomo left Ibarapaland completely energised. The extensive tour cemented his position as a prominent contender under the APM while demonstrating that effective legislative representation depends on accessibility, steady consultation, and dedication to public service.
