As political activities ahead of the 2027 governorship election continue to gather momentum in Oyo State, conversations within the All Progressives Congress are increasingly shifting toward competence, experience, acceptability, and proven service delivery.
Among the leading names generating attention is Buhari AbdulFatai, popularly known as BAF, whose years of legislative experience, executive exposure, grassroots connection, and empowerment initiatives have continued to distinguish him in the growing political conversation.
From representing Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, and Orire Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives to currently serving as Senator representing Oyo North Senatorial District, Buhari has built a long standing record in governance and public administration.
His tenure as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters under former Governor Abiola Ajimobi further strengthened his relationship with traditional rulers, local communities, and party stakeholders across the state.
Beyond politics, his academic background from the University of Ilorin, Ahmadu Bello University, University of Abuja, alongside exposure at Harvard University, reflects a combination of intellectual depth and administrative preparation.

Supporters also point to his consistent empowerment initiatives, facilitation of jobs for graduates, educational support programs, infrastructural interventions, and sponsorship of bills and motions as evidence of a leader with visible impact across Oyo State.
As the APC gradually prepares for its governorship primary, many party faithful believe that Buhari appears better prepared, more experienced, and strategically positioned among other aspirants for the enormous task of leading Oyo State.
Within party circles, there is a growing belief that the moment calls for a candidate with tested capacity, political maturity, grassroots acceptance, and statewide appeal. For many supporters, Senator Fatai Buhari embodies those qualities.
Consequently, party faithfuls and stakeholders are being urged to rally support, build consensus, and work collectively toward his emergence as the APC flag bearer ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
As the political permutations continue to unfold, one question remains central among many observers across the state: should experience, consistency, and proven public service become the deciding factors in choosing the next leader of Oyo State?
