The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, Olooye Taofeek Adegboyega Adegoke FCA, on Monday inaugurated a 25-member campaign council ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Adebayo Olusola Kesh, Esq. named as Director-General of the council.
The inauguration ceremony was held at the candidate’s campaign office in Oke-Ado, Ibadan, where Olooye Adegboyega outlined the policy thrust of his proposed administration and pledged to pursue far-reaching reforms aimed at improving governance, service delivery and the welfare of residents across the 33 local government areas of the state.
Addressing members of the newly inaugurated council, the ADC candidate said the 2027 election would be about solutions to the real problems confronting the people of Oyo State. He described the council as the engine room that would drive his message of inclusive development, accountability and grassroots empowerment to every part of the state.
“If given the opportunity to serve Oyo State as Governor, the local government will have full autonomy. The local government chairman’s sitting chair will not be bending like one I saw recently,” Adegboyega said, stressing that empowering local governments was critical to development at the grassroots.
The governorship hopeful identified agriculture, electricity supply, youth employment and investment attraction as the four pillars of his development agenda. He said his administration would prioritize policies capable of boosting agricultural production, creating a stable power sector through private sector participation, and expanding opportunities for young people.
“I will boost agriculture and bring in investors to provide electricity for the people of the state and ensure employment opportunities for the youths,” he stated.
Olooye Adegboyega also expressed concern over the growing number of out-of-school children in the state. He promised that his administration would tackle the educational deficit through
targeted interventions aimed at ensuring that every child of school age has access to quality and affordable education.
The inauguration marks a major milestone in the ADC candidate’s preparations for the 2027 governorship election. With the council now in place, the Director-General, Adebayo Olusola Kesh, Esq., is expected to coordinate campaign structures, mobilisation and strategic engagement across the three senatorial districts of the state.
