Oriyomi Hamzat, chief executive officer of Agidigbo FM, a popular radio station in Ibadan, Oyo State, has officially announced his intention to run for governor in the 2027 elections under the platform of the Accord Party.
Hamzat made the declaration on Saturday during a rally at Liberty Stadium in Ibadan, the state capital.
The media personality revealed that he never planned to enter partisan politics but felt compelled to take the step following what he described as a “divine calling.”
“I never imagined I would join a political party, let alone contest an election. I have always been a supporter and cheerleader for aspirants and candidates, but God had other plans,” Hamzat said.
“Today, I am publicly declaring my intention to join Accord as my political platform and to contest the Oyo governorship election in 2027 as a candidate.

“I have always used my platform to amplify the voices of the people. Now, I am taking a step further to serve you and to deliver development projects to the people of Oyo state,” he added.
