The political atmosphere in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general elections has taken a new turn as the Accord Party has officially received former Special Adviser on Security to Governor Seyi Makinde, Retired Commissioner of Police Fatai Owoseni, who has now declared his intention to contest for the governorship position.
Owoseni, a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police and seasoned security expert, brings decades of experience in law enforcement and public administration. His decision to join active partisan politics marks a significant shift in his career trajectory, following his exit from the Oyo State Government.
His formal reception into the Accord Party was marked by party leaders who expressed optimism about his entry, describing it as a valuable addition to the party’s growing strength and political structure ahead of the 2027 elections.
Owoseni’s background in security management and governance could give him a competitive edge as the race for the governorship seat gradually intensifies. His emergence adds to the increasing number of aspirants positioning themselves to succeed Governor Seyi Makinde.
According to political sources, Owoseni’s ambition is driven by his desire to strengthen public safety, improve governance systems, and contribute to the socio-economic advancement of Oyo State.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, the state continues to witness increasing political realignments, with stakeholders predicting further high-profile entries and party switches in the coming months.
