@K_Bright01@Oyo_Matters You are fighting over whether the road is 40km or 48km, but conveniently ignoring the fact that it has taken Seyi Makinde 7½ years to not finish it. Does the extra 8km justify a 7.5-year delay
Ahead of 2027, I urge Oyo South youths to shun violence, demand accountability and judge leaders by their records and promises. Building our youths is building our nation. Let’s choose peace and responsible participation.

Now, let's bring the conversation home.
As the representative of Ibadan South-West/North-East Federal Constituency, what exactly can you point to as your own scorecard?
This is a solid analysis, but it severely underestimates the unique dynamics of Ibadan politics and overestimates the "down-ballot" effect for the APM in a legislative race. The reality on the ground points heavily to Remi Oseni (APC) taking the Oyo South Senatorial seat, and here is why.
1. Oyo South voters are historically sophisticated ticket-splitters. The assumption that Seyi Makinde’s presidential or gubernatorial structure will blindly sweep Odidi-Omo into the Senate ignores the golden rule of Ibadan politics: Ibadan kìí ṣe ẹrú ẹnìkankan. Voters here frequently vote for one party for the executive and another for the legislature based on individual track records. While APM might have executive momentum, voters know that an APC Senator aligned with the Federal Government (President Tinubu) brings a massive advantage in attracting federal infrastructure to Oyo State.
2. The APM house in Oyo South is already openly divided. You cannot rely on a structural advantage when the very architects of that structure are defecting. Just recently, a major APM chieftain in Oyo State, Alhaji Bisi Olopoeyan, publicly declared that he might back APC's Remi Oseni over his own party’s candidate, Odidi-Omo. Olopoeyan explicitly stated, "Mo ti mọ Remi Oseni kí Odidiomo tó mọ mí , emphasizing Oseni's deep, long-standing personal relationships across party lines. When top APM leaders are throwing their weight behind the APC candidate, Odidi-Omo’s supposed structural stronghold is actually sitting on very shaky ground.
3. You mentioned that Odidi-Omo represents the massive Ibadan SW/NW voting bloc. However, Remi Oseni has spent the last two years actively executing massive projects, installing transformers, grading roads, and funding multi-million naira empowerments, right inside Odidi-Omo’s own backyard. When a lawmaker from Ido/Ibarapa East is the one bringing streetlights to Ibadan SW/NW, the voters take notice. Oseni is earning the title of "Mr. Talk and Do" because his receipts transcend his own constituency boundaries, effectively neutralizing Odidi-Omo's home advantage.
4. The transition of the incumbent Senator, Sharafadeen Alli, to the APC gubernatorial ticket does not leave Oyo South open for the taking, it consolidates it. Alli is not abandoning his senatorial structure; he is handing his undefeated, highly organized political machinery directly to Remi Oseni. This creates an APC Alli-Oseni structural alliance in the metropolitan core that will easily match, if not overpower, the APM's ground game.
5. While political analysts hyper-focus on the Ibadan metropolitan LGAs, Oyo South also includes massive agrarian populations in Ido and the Ibarapas. Remi Oseni has an absolute lockdown on this demographic through consistent agricultural interventions, rural road grading, and direct grassroots engagement. He will win Ido and Ibarapa by a landslide, and his aggressive infrastructure push in the city center will fracture Odidi-Omo's numbers.
Ultimately, 2027 in Oyo South won't be won by simply hiding behind Governor Makinde’s coattails. It will be won by the man with the heaviest personal track record, the strongest cross-party alliances, and the most tangible impact on the streets. Right now, that man is unapologetically Remi Oseni.
@FrancisAdeboye Let’s not forget Remi Oseni’s investment in the future of young people. His Smart Learning Intervention Legacy Programme, with hubs designed to equip students with digital skills, shows a focus on opportunities that go beyond election season. That counts for something
At what point are we going to be honest about Reece James playing in midfield? It’s clearly not working.
But some Chelsea fans will still come for me for saying it. Hmm
