The governorship candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Oyo State, Bimbo Adekanmbi, has pledged to run an inclusive government that guarantees every community a voice and fair representation if elected in 2027.
Adekanmbi, who disclosed this during separate meetings with the leadership of Eze Ndigbo and Seriki Sasa in Ibadan, also announced that his manifesto had been published in English, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.
He described the initiative as a landmark in Oyo State’s political history, claiming it was the first governorship manifesto in the state to be produced in the four languages.
The meetings, held on Friday, November 13, at his Jericho Campaign Office, provided an opportunity for discussions on social inclusion, community welfare, political representation, economic participation and collaboration between government and diverse communities.
Adekanmbi said Oyo State’s development could only be sustained when all ethnic and community groups had a sense of belonging and equal opportunities to participate in governance.
“The future of Oyo State cannot be built by excluding any group. Every community deserves a seat at the table, a voice in governance, and a fair opportunity to contribute to our collective progress,” he said.
He explained that translating his manifesto into four languages was part of his commitment to making governance accessible and ensuring that residents could understand his policy proposals, irrespective of their linguistic backgrounds.
“Inclusiveness must go beyond rhetoric. If we truly want people to participate in the democratic process and understand the vision we are presenting, we must communicate with them in languages they understand.
“That is why our manifesto is available in English, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo. It is a practical demonstration of our commitment to ensuring that no community is left behind,” he added.
The APM candidate assured the stakeholders that his proposed administration would promote fairness in appointments, participatory governance and community-centred development.
He also pledged to formulate policies that would expand opportunities for residents across ethnic, political and geographical divides, stressing that sustainable development was difficult to achieve when sections of society felt excluded.
Adekanmbi said his proposed Omituntun 3.0 Agenda was anchored on unity, inclusiveness, shared prosperity and sustainable development.
“Government works best when it listens. Effective leadership must be anchored on continuous consultation, mutual respect, accountability, and a genuine willingness to engage the people. That is the kind of leadership we are offering under the Omituntun 3.0 Agenda,” he said.
He further promised to sustain consultations with communities, stakeholders and interest groups across the state as preparations for the 2027 governorship election gather momentum.
Adekanmbi maintained that his vision was to build a state where every resident had a voice, every community mattered and public policies reflected the collective aspirations of the people.
The statement was signed by Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, Co-Director of Media and Publicity of the Oyo State APM Campaign Council, on November 14, 2026.
