The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) releases the final list of 16 candidates for the 2027 governorship election in Oyo State. The cleared candidates include Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abimbola Adekanmbi as the flagbearer of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), and Abdulrahman Oriyomi Hamzat for the Accord Party.
Both outlets report that the list is issued by INEC as a formal document ahead of the election, following the commission’s screening and approval process. While the coverage spotlights specific leading candidates and their party affiliations, the overall message is consistent: INEC has published the final slate of candidates for the Oyo governorship contest. The full list details additional contestants beyond the three prominently named in the reports.
