As 2027 general elections draw closer, a lot of permutations and scenarios are being conceived by aspirants and political associates from the ruling party in Oyo State. These scenarios are not limited to only the ruling party but also the opposition party, other political lightweights are equally plotting their own schemes with the ambition to take over Agodi seat in the next political dispensation.
The intrigues and political manouvering that usually trail every political circle have already started with political associates and loyalists already pitching their tents with their preferred aspirants.
In corroboration to the above assertion, a group of political associates has begun drumming support for the former Senator of Oyo North Senatorial District, Senator Hosea Agboola popularly known as Halleluyah. The group in a show of solidarity displayed their banner hanged with the inscriptions of “Tested & Trusted, Halleluyah 2027, Asesile Ni Abowaba”.
According to a member of the group who spoke to Oduduwa News and did not want his name in the print said, they decided to use the ocassion of the recently held Christmas party at the residence of the party chieftain in Igbojaye, Itesiwaju Local Government to launch the solidarity movement.
The members of the group hinged their decision on the antecedents of Senator Halleluyah who according to them is renowned for his philanthropic activities and the wealth of political knowledge that have helped a lot of politicians in the State.
Though, the party chieftain has neither confirmed nor denounced his intention to run for the governorship position publicly but his fans and his loyalists have been drumming support for him.
Recall, the relationship between the PDP Chieftain, Senator Hosea Halleluyah and the Executive Governor of the State, Engr. Seyi Makinde has gone sour and this was in connection to their political interest in the last 2023 general elections. Makinde and three other PDP governors pitched their tent with the former Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike who failed to clinch the Party’s presidential ticket while Halleluyah and his loyalists declared support for Atiku Abubakar, who eventually won the Party’s presidential ticket.
In the twist of events, Oyo State Governor, Makinde and three other governors teamed up with the then Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike to form a parralel group called G-5 as a rebel against their Party’s presidential flagbearer and declared their support for the incumbent President Bola Tinubu who was the presidential flagbearer of APC and eventually became the Landlord of Aso Rock.
