2027: Remi Oseni’s Senatorial Bid Gains Steam as Akin-Alabi’s DACOF Joins Forces

The ambition of Engr. Aderemi Abass Oseni to represent Oyo South Senatorial District in 2027 received a major boost on Friday, following a high-profile alignment that has significantly altered the political temperature in the state.

In a strategic move to consolidate progressive forces within the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Demilade Akin-Alabi Committee of Friends (DACOF) officially declared its collapse into the Remi Oseni Committee of Friends (ROCOF), pledging an unwavering commitment to Oseni’s senatorial project.

The convener of DACOF, Hon. (Dr.) Oluwademilade Akin-Alabi, who made the formal declaration in Ibadan, described the partnership as a “unity of purpose” designed to ensure that only the most credible and result-oriented leadership emerges for the district. Akin-Alabi expressed a profound conviction in Oseni’s capacity to navigate the complexities of the Red Chamber, citing his track record as the current Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Housing Authority.

“Engr. Remi Oseni has consistently demonstrated a rare blend of political experience and humanitarian passion,” Akin-Alabi stated. “By joining forces, DACOF and ROCOF are not just building a campaign team; we are building a movement that is rooted in the collective growth and empowerment of the people of Oyo South.”

This alliance comes as political observers note the rapid expansion of Oseni’s influence across the nine local government areas that make up the district. By integrating the DACOF structure—noted for its vibrant youth appeal and grassroots reach—into the existing ROCOF network, the Oseni camp has successfully broadened its operational base, effectively putting potential rivals on notice.

The spirit of collaboration between the two groups is being hailed by party stalwarts as a necessary step toward avoiding internal fragmentation and ensuring a landslide victory for the APC in the 2027 general elections.

As the “Oseni for Senate” momentum continues to build, leaders of the newly unified front maintained that their focus remains on providing a “people-oriented representation” that prioritizes infrastructure, social welfare, and sustainable development for the masses of Oyo South.
