​The political architecture of Oyo South Senatorial District has been dramatically reshaped as the powerful coalition of market leaders, representing thousands of traders across the region, formally declared their total support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the senatorial aspiration of Hon. Dr. Engr. Aderemi Abass Oseni.

​The massive mobilization effort, which has sent shockwaves through the local political scene, was unveiled during a strategic interactive summit that saw the market community transition from neutral observers to active campaign foot soldiers. The movement is framed around a clear mandate: the consolidation of President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda and the legislative stewardship of Dr. Oseni, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).

​The mobilization plan was ignited by a significant economic empowerment intervention, during which Dr. Oseni distributed N90 million—earmarking N10 million for each of the nine local government areas in the district—to support local traders. However, organizers noted that the financial injection was merely the catalyst for a broader, grassroots-driven campaign to secure victory in 2027.

​Speaking at the summit, the Coordinator for Market Men and Women in Oyo South and Babaloja of Omi-Adio and Ido, Hon. Chief Odedele Waheed Alabi, characterized the event as a turning point for the district. He underscored that the market leaders, acting in unison, have decided to move beyond individual support to a coordinated, district-wide mobilization strategy.

​”We are not just endorsing; we are mobilizing,” Chief Alabi declared, emphasizing that the market structure is arguably the most formidable grassroots political force in the state. He noted that the leadership across all nine local governments is now fully committed to ensuring that the message of Tinubu’s developmental policies and Oseni’s proven capacity reaches every stall and household in the senatorial district.

​The resolve of the market leadership was echoed by a powerful delegation of stakeholders, including Ibrahim Balogun (Babaloja of Ibadan North East), Rafiu Iyo (Babaloja of Ibadan South West), Alhaji Tajudeen Hammed (Babaloja of Ibadan North West), and the Asiwaju Oloja of Ibarapa Zone, Alhaji Abdulraman Salawudeen. These leaders pledged to leverage their expansive networks to ensure that the Tinubu/Oseni ticket remains the dominant force in the upcoming electoral cycle.

​As the meeting concluded, with the announcement delivered by Seun Olawoore, the consensus was clear: the market community has officially activated its machinery. With the promise of continued engagement and the solid backing of thousands of traders who view both leaders as the catalysts for economic stability and growth, the Tinubu/Oseni campaign has gained an undeniably formidable edge in the battle for Oyo South.
