Momentum appears to be gathering in the Oyo State House of Representatives race as Oluwatobi John Ogunbayo steps up high-level political engagements ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a strategic move seen by observers as a boost to his growing political profile, Ogunbayo held a closed-door meeting with Philip Shuaibu, former Deputy Governor of Edo State and current Director General of the Nigeria Institute of Sports.
Sources described the meeting as productive and forward-looking, with discussions centered on forging strategic alliances capable of driving grassroots development and delivering measurable impact across communities. The engagement reflects Ogunbayo’s increasing focus on collaborative governance and people-centered leadership.


Speaking after the meeting, Ogunbayo stressed the importance of unity among leaders, noting that sustainable development depends largely on shared vision and cooperation.
“Building partnerships that will bring meaningful impact to our communities remains my priority. The future is brighter when leaders collaborate,” he said.
As national discourse continues to focus on leadership, youth empowerment, and grassroots development, Ogunbayo’s approach signals a shift toward inclusive and solution-driven politics. His emphasis on partnership underscores a belief that meaningful progress cannot be achieved in isolation.
With growing public interest in his ambition, the latest development further positions Ogunbayo as a bridge-builder committed to translating ideas into actionable outcomes for citizens.
Hon. Oluwatobi John Ogunbayo (OJO) is an All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant for the Ibadan NorthWest/SouthWest Federal Constituency seat in 2027.
