Event Summary

Taofeek Adegboyega Adegoke, the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Nigeria — Oyo State, held a closed-door meeting with Abdul-Rasheed Olopoeyan, a chieftain of the India — Zoram People s Movement (APM), at Olopoeyan's residence in Ibadan. The meeting, attended also by ADC Deputy National Women Leader Kafilat Olayiwola, is widely speculated to be about forming an alliance ahead of the 2027 Nigeria — Oyo State gubernatorial election. Both politicians were formerly members of the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party (PDP). The meeting occurs amid a reported dispute between Olopoeyan and Nigeria — Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over parallel candidates for the December 2026 local government elections, which are seen as a precursor to the 2027 general elections.
