Precisely three weeks ahead of the March 11, 2023 gubernatorial elections, Oyo State seems to have a peculiar case among the three states in the Southwest geopolitical zone, where the contest will be held.
While it is almost certain that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will have a walkover against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the gubernatorial contest in Ogun and Lagos, due to the peculiar nature of crises within the major opposition party, the case in Oyo may be different. This is because in Oyo, the presidential candidate of APC might need to balance his interest and that of the three major governorship candidates, Governor Seyi Makinde of PDP, Senator Teslim Folarin of APC and Adebayo Adelabu of Accord Party.
