Gboyega Nasir Isiaka Throws His Hat into the Ring for Ogun State Governorship in 2027
After three failed runs for the governorship of Ogun State, three-time gubernatorial candidate Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, also known as GNI, has announced his intention to run for the coveted position in 2027.
Isiaka, a sitting member of the House of Representatives, has been a perennial runner-up in the state's gubernatorial elections, having contested under different political platforms, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC), an "unknown party" he branded, in 2011, 2015, and 2019.
In a recent media chat in Abeokuta, the state capital, Isiaka emphasized that his long-standing involvement in the state's politics justifies his ambition, citing his experience as a strong factor in his decision to run for the top seat.
With over a decade of personal effort and political participation, Isiaka is confident that he is well-positioned to become the next governor of Ogun State, echoing President Bola Tinubu's 2023 election slogan, "Emilokan" (it's my turn).
"After running elections three times... I've put so much into this process for me to be able to sit at most tables to discuss what needs to be done about the state," the federal lawmaker said.
Isiaka, who currently chairs the National Planning and Economic Development Committee of the House of Representatives, stressed that his aspiration is rooted in years of hard work and dedication, rather than being "pushed" into the race.
While acknowledging the importance of consultations and alliances within the political space, Isiaka emphasized that his independence and commitment to the state's progress set him apart from other contenders.
Will Isiaka's four-time bid finally pay off in 2027? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the Ogun State gubernatorial election in 2027 promises to be a closely watched and fiercely contested battle.
