A large crowd of loyalists and supporters gathered in a show of strength as popular broadcaster and politician, Oriyomi Hamzat, formally picked his nomination form under the Accord Party ahead of the 2027 Oyo State governorship election.
The event, which attracted party faithful, grassroots mobilisers, and admirers from across Oyo State, highlighted Hamzat’s growing political influence and acceptance among the masses. Supporters were seen chanting slogans and expressing confidence in his candidacy, describing him as a credible alternative to the dominant political parties in the state.
Hamzat, who is the founder of Agidigbo FM, has built a strong reputation through his media platform and humanitarian engagements, factors many of his supporters believe position him as a people-oriented leader. His entry into the governorship race has continued to generate momentum, particularly among youths and grassroots communities.
Speaking at the gathering, the aspirant reaffirmed his commitment to delivering people-centered governance if elected. He stressed that his ambition is driven by a desire to improve living standards, create opportunities, and ensure responsive leadership across Oyo State.
Party leaders and stakeholders present at the event described his emergence as a significant boost to the Accord Party’s chances in the 2027 election, noting that his popularity and grassroots appeal could reshape the political landscape.
The development comes months after Hamzat officially declared his governorship ambition under the Accord platform, a move that has since attracted widespread attention and mobilization across the state.
With the 2027 elections approaching, political observers say the increasing turnout of supporters at his activities signals a potentially competitive race, as newer contenders continue to challenge established political structures in Oyo State.
