Stakeholders across Oyo North Senatorial District have reportedly thrown their weight behind Shina Peller, affirming him as the preferred candidate ahead of the 2027 political cycle.
According to the report, the endorsement followed a series of consultations among key political actors, community leaders, and party stakeholders within the Oke-Ogun axis. The decision is said to reflect a growing consensus on the need for a candidate with both political experience and grassroots appeal.
Sources within the stakeholders’ circle noted that Peller’s previous representation at the House of Representatives and his visibility in constituency development were major factors influencing the decision. He served as a federal lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency between 2019 and 2023, building a reputation for youth engagement and empowerment initiatives.
The stakeholders emphasized unity and strategic positioning ahead of the forthcoming elections, stating that early alignment behind a single candidate would strengthen the district’s bargaining power in state and national politics.
While the development signals a significant political boost for Peller, it is understood that formal party processes and ratifications are still expected to follow in line with electoral guidelines.
Observers say the move could reshape political dynamics in Oyo North, especially as parties begin early preparations for the 2027 general elections.
