… dismisses fears expressed by caller from abroad
Founder of an Ibadan-based radio station, Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Oriyomi Hamzat, says he has better chances to win the governorship election in Oyo State if he decides to contest the office in 2027.
Hamzat disclosed this during a live broadcast featuring a caller from abroad, who advised him not to venture into running for the Office of Governor of Oyo in the 2027 general elections.
Warning the popular broadcaster, the caller said, “Don’t listen to those who are saying Oyo is calling Oriyomi Hamzat. They are only lying.
“Although you are helping the masses, don’t rely on them that when it is election time, they will vote for you. They will not.
“Don’t let them deceive you. Even the area where your radio station is located, if politicians take money there, you will lose the polling unit.
“It is true that you are a good person and qualified, but the masses will not vote for you.”
But in his response, Hamzat dismissed the caller’s advice, saying such discouraging comments won’t deter him because he’s capable of making his own political decision.
The popular broadcaster said, “Don’t say they will not vote for me. You might even be the one that will push me to contest. I have my own brain. I don’t want to listen to any advice like this again.
“If I contest, nothing will happen. I will contest, and I will win. Don’t tell me that.
“You are telling me I won’t win, what is the meaning of that? Do you know the minds of those people that will vote? You are using yesterday to judge today.”
