2027 Politics
This is the biggest conversation about him right now.
Founder of Ibadan-based Agidigbo FM, Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat, has joined a political party, Accord, and declared his intention to contest the Oyo governorship election in 2027. He declared at a well-attended ceremony in Ibadan in August 2026 and has since been on a tour of radio stations and public places — Omoluabi 87.7FM, Solutions 93.9 FM, Splash FM, Lagelu FM — wearing campaign shirts that read “ORIYOMI HAMZAT GOVERNOR 2027”.
• Supporters are very vocal — comments are full of “incoming governor 2027,” prayers like “Insha Allah” and “Amin”, and praise for his humility.
He also frames his move as beyond partisan politics — “I am not for politics, I am for Yorùbás” — which has sparked both ethnic solidarity and heated debate online.
In short, Oriyomi as of late 2026 he is one of the most discussed figures in Oyo State ahead of 2027.
