As Ogun State approaches another historic political milestone of general elections in 2027, something big is brewing—a trend characterized by convergence, shared aspiration, and a firm resolve to put the state on the path to greatness. ACCORD State Chairman in Ogun State, Hon. Oke Rotimi Michael said, a formidable alliance of political parties has emerged, tagged Ogun 2027 Project. This alliance is committed to fielding and supporting the best qualified gubernatorial candidate who will be able to offer progressive leadership and economic transformation for the Gateway State. And most importantly, that best qualified candidate, is to be from any of the 18 political parties available in Ogun State till date, and he or she, will be fully supported, and massively campaign for.
Hon. Oke Rotimi Michael hinted that, in an era when division has a tendency to subvert the democratic process, the alliance modestly promises to bring about a change—a change where cooperation replaces competition, and shared values dominate partisan interest. By bringing together various political ideologies and platforms, the alliance will present a strong platform that resonates the voice of the people, enhances democratic engagement, and ensures a unified effort in the selection of a genuinely competent and visionary candidate.
Currently, almost eight political parties have shown great interest in the success of this virtuous endeavour. With matters of strategy being discussed, the alliance will soon welcome a minimum of five more political parties, extending its wings and consolidating its grip prior to the 2027 elections.
Hon. Oke Rotimi emphasized that The Ogun 2027 Project is founded upon strategic clarity and purposeful action. To secure the emergence of the best available candidate, the alliance will embrace a multi-layered strategy encompassing:
Broad-based Consultations: Consulting primary stakeholders—youth organisations, community leaders, professional associations, market associations, and religious organisations—to identify the qualities the people seek in their next governor.
Competency Screening: All the contestants will be screened on record, policy level, leadership vision, character, and capacity for inclusive growth delivery.
Consensus Building: The alliance will prize harmony and a shared goal and function through systematic negotiations to create a single, popularly supported contestant with the ability to capture the mandate of the people.
At the core of this alliance’s platform is a steadfast desire to unlock the economic potential of Ogun State. The alliance envisions a governor who will:
Spur industrial development and attract local and foreign investment.
Empower entrepreneurs and small businesses with access to funding and training.
Tackle unemployment through skill acquisition and job placement.
Develop infrastructure across the state—roads, schools, hospitals, and technology hubs.
Strengthen agricultural value chains for food security and export competitiveness.
In conclusion, The Ogun 2027 Project is not a political campaign—it is a movement for meaningful leadership. With a growing numbers of committed political parties, this alliance is poised to give Ogun State the kind of leadership it deserves—visionary, credible, and people-centered.
History is in the making, and the Ogun people are watching. We are doing it together to make a better, stronger, and richer Ogun State.
