He previously sought the Oyo North senatorial ticket in the 2023 election under the All Progressives Congress (APC), but lost the party’s primary election to Abdulfatai Buhari.
Buhari subsequently won the senatorial election but later sought the APC governorship ticket in Oyo State.
His decision to pursue the governorship race means he is not expected to seek another term in the Senate in 2027, leaving the Oyo North seat open for a fresh contest.
