The Senator representing Oyo North senatorial district, Abdulfatai Buhari, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain made this disclosure while featuring on Oyo-based media platform, Parrot FM on Sunday.
The lawmaker said he is ready to shift gears from legislative duties to the demands of executive leadership.
“This is the third time I would be a Senator and the fourth time I would go to the national assembly. I’m a core legislator. I’ve tried.
“But what I really want to do, if God grants me, is to become the governor of Oyo State,” he said
Buhari ruled out the possibility of returning to the red chamber, even if the Senate ticket is zoned to his local government.
“Even if they bring the Senate to our side again and Oke Ogun is given another thing, I won’t come out as a Senator anymore — unless it is for governor.
“Let another person do it. We will train some of those coming behind us to contest. We will train him, and he will excel,” he added
Buhari’ s political career began in 2003 when he was elected into the House of Representatives to represent Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South and Oriire federal constituency.
