Adelabu, is the preferred candidate of them all, a Man that resigned from the position of Deputy Governor of the CBN.

The biggest fear of the APC is that Ibadan because to me they seems to be divided against each other
Ajimobi Vs Senator Soji Akanbi
Hon Fijabi Vs Ajanaku

And rate at which people are defecting to the ADC in Oyo state is becoming worrisome for them.

Not also forgetting the fact that this time, it seems the PDP has gotten a right candidate in the person of Seyi Makinde, although, his own camp also suffered a few set back due to the decamp of Former Governor Ladoja and Senator Lanlehin to the ADC.

Seyi Makinde would just have to Man up to face this Guy's because irrespective of the APC or ADC would present, he has the Name already.

The APC would still suffer alot of defections because like Akala, Erubodo would still move to another party although that's subject to the fact that they can Man Up against the Fear of Buhari

mrtomola:
and who's going to be his Deputy ?

Olalan:
This to me is just a camouflage cause the man already has his candidate of who will succeed him and going by happenings in other states the governor's choice will emerge winner at the primaries

senatordave1:
Can buhari win oyo

Bakerdav:
I know shittu will never be there, that is Buhari candidate order from above,

dee4dayo:
Ayenipon

OsasAca1:
I can't say for now brother, let's wait till December, January then it would become clearer...
But for now all I see in the eyes of an average Yoruba State, is they don't want to present a State that doesn't align with Federal support...

Go and ask Osun State, and even Tinubu how they suffered when they were not aligning with the Federal Government...

But I want you to be calm before taking quick decision, what they are currently doing is they are patiently waiting for the PDP candidate, they would measure the capacity, then field there own support for him if it worthwhile but if they feel his not worthwhile, they manage the Buhari...

Although seems all the Geo political Zones are equally doing the same but the Yoruba's this time wants to play the last joker spot because other Regions are just too attach with him or so against him.

But on general view, Buhari is not easy to sell to anyone here because remember, they are very knowledgeable and well educated but at the same time still vulnerable to the fear of being oppressed...

My Little observation

Yoruba, till the end and thing can still happen... Don't over rely on them.

raumdeuter:
After I heard that Shittu interview with Sowore, I've hated him. He's so empty upstairs

omowolewa:
I prefer Tegbe

I know but ibadan people has been ruling ever since 1979 from the time of olunloyo to adesina from 1999 to 2003 to ladoja.only akala broke that trend for a short period.in the spirit of fairness,equity and rotation,let other zones rule abeg.oyo is not the only state where a particular group has a larger population than the rest.some other states like akwa ibom,kogi,rivers,edo,delta,cross river,imo etc has the same peculiarity yet allows for zoning of the guber post

FlyoruB:
For strategic reasons, APC must field an Ibadan person to stand a chance coz Ibadan ( too populous to ignore) will be the battleground hotspot -- the party might even not do too well in the city but will still carry the day with Oyo, Oke Ogun and Ogbomosho votes (it is strong in those areas and that wont chnage overnight) support same way it happened during Ajimobi second term. And you are wrong about Ibadan ruling since '79. Bola Ige (an Ijesha from present-day Osun who won Oyo governorship in '79) won under UPN and his deputy Bisi Akande (former Osun state governor) were both from the Osun division back then (Osun was part of Oyo at the time). Though he lost reelection (allegedly via rigging) to an ibadan man in the person of Olunloyo of NPN in '83. Olunloyo's tenure was short lived thanks to the Buhari/Idiagbon military takeover.

seunmsg:
Shittu cannot emerge as Oyo APC candidate irrespective of the model adopted for the primary election. Direct, indirect, and even consensus, he cannot win.

happney65:
I knew that weeree shittu wont be there..oloriburuku oloshi Man.

heayernu56:
APC may not get bloc vote in the oke Ogun axis as they did during Ajimobi's election if they do not feed in a governorship candidate from that side which is likely not going to happen this time around since the more grounded and top aspirant are from ibadan (Even Ajimobi promised the oke Ogun his support). Though, they may get bloc vote from ogbomoso with the presence of Akala, provided that there is no form of discord in case Akala fail to emerge as their governordhip candidate

BafanaBafana:
Even that guy that looks like babalawo wants to contest?

I was opportuned to follow Hon. Adebayo shittu's convoy for just a day and I must admit this man is really hard working. He might not be young but 85% of his crew are young and dynamic youths, I was so surprise when I met his crew cos I've heard alot about him. I'm not really a big fan of politics but I'm an indigene of OYO state and I've seen all the aspirants including the wealthy self acclaimed "international surgeon" (can't really remember his name) non of them has a campaign team as young as shittu's own (you can make a research if you doubt me). I know he has been accused of some corrupt practices but this is politics and your opponents will surely look for ways to bring you down. People say he's selfish just because he doesn't spray money at people during his visits (the same way the APC elders in Lagos state don't like Ambode cos he's into "physical infrastructure " and not "stomach infrastructure ". I made a research and I saw that shittu has dug more boreholes in OYO than even Ajimobi. shittu is a very free and humble man.

raumdeuter:
I think Shittu is intellectually empty

The only time I heard him speak was in the debate with Sowore and he was a monumental disgrace, There was nothing humble nor intelligent about the way he presented himselfI was neutral about him before but after that encounter, I am certain he would even be worse than Akala

wjames:
Sir, I felt the same way when I saw his debate with sowore but sir, this man is a Barrister and he has his own chamber. He has been running his chambers even before joining politics. The man was so exceptional that he became the youngest member of OYO house of assembly at just 26years, he has gotten so many academic awards (not honourary). You can try to google it,sir. I think right now, we need a Government that knows what the youths really want. Shittu also run a platform for the youth. I just have the love for this man called shittu.
