Oyo 2027: AKK Shows Capacity Without Holding Office, Declares Readiness for APC Primaries
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Oyo State governorship hopeful, Akeem Adeyemi, popularly known as AKK, has said his track record in development, grassroots engagement and private enterprise reflects his readiness to govern Oyo State ahead of the 2027 election.
AKK, a leading governorship aspirant of the APC in Oyo State, is also a serial investor with business interests cutting across multiple sectors of the economy, a profile supporters say further underscores his leadership capacity and administrative readiness.
AKK, who is positioning himself ahead of the party’s governorship primaries, highlighted his consistent contributions to grassroots development and community advancement as clear evidence of his competence and commitment to public service.
His emergence in Oyo politics has been largely driven by philanthropy, education and policy engagement, earning him recognition as one of the notable aspirants within the APC ahead of the 2027 governorship race.
According to the aspirant, leadership should not be defined solely by political appointments but by measurable impact and the ability to deliver results. He maintained that his efforts over the years demonstrate both capacity and readiness to govern Oyo State effectively.
AKK said his consistent interventions in community development, strategic investments and public service have distinguished him as one of the leading aspirants in the race for the party’s governorship ticket.
“AKK has delivered without political appointment. He has demonstrated capacity and commitment. Despite not holding any political office, his contributions to development clearly show his readiness for leadership,” supporters of the aspirant said.
They maintained that AKK’s performance, accessibility and connection with the grassroots, alongside his success as an investor and entrepreneur, have continued to strengthen confidence in his ability to lead Oyo State under the platform of the APC.
Reaffirming his ambition, AKK disclosed that his camp is fully mobilised and strategically preparing for the forthcoming APC primaries. He emphasized that his team remains focused, organised and committed to securing the party’s ticket through a credible and issue-based process.
“We are getting ready for the APC primaries—focused, prepared and fully committed to the task ahead,” he stated.
AKK remains one of the prominent contenders in the race for the APC governorship ticket as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general election in Oyo State.
