The Oyo Rising Citizens Forum (ORCF), a prominent socio-political organization with a robust network spanning all sectors and local government areas across the state, is set to host Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for Oyo State, on a landmark interactive programme tagged “A Dialogue On The Future Of Oyo State.”
According to a joint press release issued and signed by Alaba Adebisi and Owolabi Salam, this strategic event is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM prompt at the Mercyfield Event Place, formerly known as Nulge Hall, located along Onireke Road, Dugbe, Ibadan.
According to the organisers: “The initiative is meticulously designed to provide a direct, transparent, and one-on-one platform for the APC flagbearer to engage with the public and explicitly detail his governance blueprint, policy frameworks, and definitive vision for the economic and social trajectory of Oyo State if he is elected as the next executive governor.”
The Forum emphasised that as a progressive group with an active membership drawn from every sector of society and across all local government areas in Oyo State, they decided to put this programme in place to showcase exactly what Senator Sharafadeen Alli has to offer the industrious people of Oyo State if he is given the mandate to lead in the 2027 elections.
The organisers further explained that the dialogue aims to move beyond conventional political campaigning, focusing instead on structural solutions for infrastructure, healthcare, education, civil service welfare, and agricultural development.
“By bringing the candidate face-to-face with professional bodies, youth networks, trade unions, media representatives, community leaders and others, the Oyo Rising Citizens Forum intends to facilitate a robust exchange that sets a new benchmark for democratic engagement and accountability in the state, prompting a warm invitation to members of the press and the general public to witness this definitive conversation aimed at shaping a prosperous future for Oyo State.
