Alhaji Dr Oriyomi Hamzat has officially joined the Accord Party, ending his long-held neutrality and declaring his intention to contest the Oyo State governorship election in 2027.
The popular broadcaster, widely known as the voice behind the grassroots slogan “Oyo n Pe o,” made the declaration at Liberty Stadium, Ibadan, where supporters gathered for the announcement.
Speaking at the event, Hamzat described “Oyo n Pe o” as a people-driven movement, stressing that it was not formed to promote the ambition of any individual ahead of the 2027 elections.
He confirmed that he will be on the ballot as the governorship candidate of the Accord Party, adding that his decision was driven by a desire to serve the people of Oyo State.
Hamzat disclosed that he neither has vast financial resources nor the backing of political godfathers at the state or federal levels, noting that his ambition is rooted in the support of ordinary citizens.
He urged his supporters to remain peaceful, shun violence, and ensure they retain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), emphasizing that change can only be achieved through lawful and democratic means.
