Hamzat, while addressing supporters after completing the formal process of obtaining the nomination form, said his journey into active politics had moved from intention to execution.
He explained that “work has started” on his governorship ambition.
According to him, “The move signals a new phase of structured mobilisation and political engagement across the state. I am here to pick expression of interest and nomination forms for the governorship race in Oyo at our party secretariat, Yemetu in Ibadan.”
The PUNCH reports that Hamzat, who declared his intention for the governorship race on January 19, 2026, said it was not unconnected to God’s intervention, stressing that he weighed the advice from his advisers and decided to run for governor in the 2027 elections under the Accord Party.
He revealed that part of his early mobilisation efforts included providing transportation support, including buses, to ease movement for supporters and party members who came to witness the exercise, describing it as a practical demonstration of his readiness and organisational capacity.
On Monday at the party secretariat in Ibadan, Hamzat was accompanied by his teeming followers, who have vowed to resist Governor Seyi Makinde from installing his successor in 2027.
The aspirant, widely known for his grassroots influence through Agidigbo FM and his interventions on social issues, was received by party executives and enthusiastic supporters who thronged the venue in solidarity songs and chants.
