Florence Ajimobi, widow of former Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, has issued a strong declaration ahead of the 2027 Oyo State governorship election, vowing a fierce contest against the ruling Peoples Democratic Party led by Governor Seyi Makinde.
Speaking in a political gathering, Ajimobi said the camp aligned with her late husband’s legacy is “going to war” in the 2027 governorship race, claiming it has both federal backing and the financial strength required to challenge the PDP’s dominance in the state.
Her comments signal an early escalation of political tensions in Oyo State, reopening old rivalries between the APC bloc associated with the late former governor and the incumbent administration. Analysts say the statement underscores the likelihood of an intense political contest as alignments and strategies begin to take shape well ahead of the election cycle.
Neither the Oyo State Government nor the PDP has formally responded to the remarks as of the time of filing this report.
