This was in anticipation of the need for fence mending and sustenance of peace and unity after the conclusion of its primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections in the state.

The PUNCH reports that the state APC candidate, Sharafadeen Alli had, on Thursday, June 2, 2026, formally received Independent National Electoral Commission nomination form, while unveiling Adesoji Adedeji as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
Adedeji, 46, is an Economics graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and hails from Iwo-Ate in Ogo-Oluwa Local Government Area of the state.
