Nureni Aderemi Adeniran Declares for Governor Seyi Makinde’s Seat, Vows to Consolidate Omituntun Agenda in Oyo State
The Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, has formally declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Oyo State on the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), pledging to consolidate the achievements of the administration of Seyi Makinde and deepen sustainable development across the state.
Dr. Adeniran made the declaration in a statement issued on Monday, noting that his decision followed extensive consultations, personal reflection and prayers.
According to him, his aspiration is driven by a desire to serve the people and build on the progress recorded under the leadership of Governor Makinde.
He explained that the declaration also followed an earlier public announcement of his ambition on a state radio station a few months ago.
“I am offering myself to serve as Governor of Oyo State, not out of ambition but out of conviction; not for power, but for purpose; not to be celebrated, but to empower,” Adeniran said.
The OYOSUBEB chairman highlighted his experience in public service, noting that he had served in several capacities, including as a local government chairman, commissioner and board member at both state and federal levels.
He said his engagement with communities across the state has given him a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in different regions of Oyo.
Adeniran also paid tribute to Governor Makinde, describing him as a visionary leader whose administration has brought significant transformation to the state.
He pledged to sustain and strengthen the achievements of the current government if elected governor.
“I am stepping forward to consolidate the good works of Governor Seyi Makinde, my leader and principal. Continuity is the foundation of sustainable progress, and Oyo State deserves nothing less,” he said.
The governorship aspirant stressed that the legacy of the Makinde-led administration, widely known as the Omituntun agenda, must be preserved and expanded to ensure that the gains recorded in governance, infrastructure and social development are sustained.
According to him, his administration would prioritise quality education, youth empowerment, improved security and infrastructure development while promoting innovation and inclusive governance.
“My vision is simple: a state where every child has access to quality education, where our youths do not have to leave home to find opportunities, and where security is guaranteed for every citizen,” he said.
He added that his ambition reflects the collective aspirations of people across the state, including farmers, traders, teachers, artisans, healthcare workers, civil servants and students.
Adeniran also emphasised the importance of the civil service in driving effective governance, promising to strengthen its capacity through training, improved welfare and a system that rewards merit and innovation.
He further assured that his administration would create more employment opportunities for youths by supporting entrepreneurship, attracting investments and expanding key sectors such as education, agriculture, technology and small-scale industries.
According to him, government must not only provide jobs but also create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive and for citizens to be productive.
Adeniran therefore called on residents of the state to support his aspiration, expressing optimism that together they could build a future that would make the coming generations proud.
“I ask for your support, your prayers and your trust. Together, we will continue and elevate the legacy of excellence already being built in Oyo State,” he said.
