The Chairman of Accord in Ogbomoso North Local Government Area, Oyo State, Alhaji Eddison Yekini Garuba has declared that the electorate in the Ogbomoso Zone have ceded Oyo North senatorial slot to Oke Ogun Zone.

Garuba made this disclosure in Iseyin on Saturday during a programme organised by Accord candidate for Oyo North Senatorial District, Hon. Shina Abiola Peller.

He said: “Oyo North has 13 local government areas; We have three in Ogbomoso and they have 10 in Oke Ogun. Oke Ogun has supported us for eight years; it is now time for us to support them. The people of Ogbomoso, the elders, the traditional rulers and the youths and students have told me to tell you that we are supporting the candidate from Oke Ogun this time around.”

He further disclosed: “We in Ogbomoso have decided to support the candidate from Oke Ogun under Accord [because] if we should follow the law of natural justice, it behoves Ogbomoso to support Oke Ogun now. The elders, chiefs and traditional rulers in Ogbomoso have decided that we should support Oke Ogun in 2023 to produce the senator for Oyo North.”
