Senator Sharafadeen Alli is emerging as the leading contender for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 elections.
Party insiders indicate that Alli currently enjoys stronger backing within the APC structure in Oyo, positioning him ahead of other aspirants.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, is reportedly facing challenges in gaining widespread support within the party. Sources suggest concerns about his popularity and electability against the eventual candidate of the incumbent governor, Seyi Makinde.
Alli, who represents Oyo South Senatorial District, is said to have secured significant grassroots and party-level support, strengthening his chances of clinching the APC ticket.
The development comes as political realignments intensify within the state, with stakeholders weighing the party’s chances of reclaiming power in 2027.
More consultations and internal negotiations are expected in the coming months as the APC finalizes its strategy.
