On power rotation and why Oke-Ogun should produce the next governor in Oyo State come 2027 

Dr. Adegbola responded;

 "Like I said in our APC 's Party National Headquarters, while I was declaring for the Party and my interest to run for the Governorship position, Oyo State is a Strong, United indivisible State, I strongly believe in power rotation and an Oke Ogun Governor will better the whole State"

How well do you know about geo-political zones in Oyo

State?

"Well, Oyo State is made up of five political zones, Oyo, Ibadan, Ibarapa, Ogbomoso and Oke-Ogun. Oyo North senatorial District comprises 13 Local Government areas, 3 in Ogbomoso, 10 in Oke-Ogun, Oyo Central is made up of five local government areas partly in Ibadan, two in Ogbomoso and four local government areas in Oyo zone totally 11 LGA. Talking about Oyo South, there are nine local government areas there, Ibadan six and Ibarapa three respectively".

On what he is putting in place to have APC's gubernatorial ticket.

 Dr. Adegbola says: I put God Almighty first because he is the one that is helping us and I can tell you we have being moving across the state, Oyo, Ibarapa, Ogbomoso etc and the good people of Oyo State are accepting me and my team so we have what it takes to win the party ticket.

Concerning general elections, Dr. Adegbola said, by the grace of God Almighty, if I secured the party gubernatorial ticket, victory is certain, we only need to put our party together and be united because when we're united it will be easier for us as a political party to win. Governor Makinde's administration is ending in 2027 and it will be time for us to take over the reign of government in our dear state and consolidate the renewed hope agenda of president BOLA AHMED TINUBU.

About serving Oyo State 

He says 

** "I have served my Country, Nigeria, nationally and globally. As a senior military officer, I have participated in 5 major military campaigns gallantly. I was in Somalia, Liberia, The Gambia, Operation Harmony/MNJTF in Bakassi Peninsulla and of recent the on going North East Operations, which gave me the Chief of Army Staff Award of River Niger Star (RNS) Medal, an award for Bravery and Gallantry. I am accessible to my people, the local government will be adequately enhanced and independent, traditional rulers would be highly respected, recognised and taken care of. Security challenges will be addressed, since I have comparative advantage and it is my area of specialisation. I don't want to about my political manifestoes, programmes and objectives for now to avoid copying and piracy. The welfare of our people in Oyo State will be our utmost core concern and objective through sound and robust economic prosperity and good developmental needs and wants of each community and political zone"
