In a surprise move, Dotun Sanusi, a prominent figure in Oyo State, has announced that the campaign for his 2027 gubernatorial election should be on hold. This declaration comes after months of speculation and subtle campaigning by his supporters, who had been urging him to throw his hat into the ring.
In a statement released to the press, Sanusi expressed his gratitude to his supporters for their enthusiasm and encouragement but made it clear that his desire is to focus on his current commitments, including his business ventures and his support for President Bola Tinubu and the governor of Oyo State, as the primary reasons for his decision.
Sanusi’s announcement is expected to come as a disappointment to his supporters, who had seen him as a viable alternative to the current crop of politicians in the state. However, Sanusi’s decision is also seen as a testament to his commitment to his current endeavors and his unwillingness to be distracted by political ambitions.
In the statement, Sanusi urged his supporters to cease campaigning for him and to redirect their energy towards supporting other candidates who share their values and vision for the state. He also expressed his confidence in the ability of the people of Oyo State to make informed decisions about their leadership and pledged to continue working for the betterment of the state, albeit outside of the gubernatorial race.
With Sanusi’s campaign on hold, the field is now open for other aspirants to emerge and contest the 2027 gubernatorial election. As the political landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the people of Oyo State will be watching with keen interest as the drama unfolds.
