The event marked another milestone in the initiative’s efforts to establish a formidable community-level network through which residents can be engaged, informed and educated about the political vision and policy proposals being presented by the party’s candidates ahead of the forthcoming elections.
Speaking at the inauguration, the Director and State Coordinator of the BSA Neighbour-to-Neighbour Campaign Initiative, Hon. Farmer Omolara Kafilat Busari Svensson, explained that the initiative was established to promote direct voter engagement through house-to-house sensitisation and neighbourhood interactions.
She stated that the primary objective was to ensure that residents across Oyo State had the opportunity to understand Barrister Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli’s manifesto, his vision for the state and how his proposed programmes were intended to address the needs and aspirations of the people.
According to her, the initiative is designed to take political communication beyond conventional campaign platforms by bringing the candidate’s message directly to the doorsteps of residents, allowing for closer interaction between campaign representatives and members of the public.

Hon. Farmer Omolara emphasised that grassroots mobilisation remained central to the initiative’s operations, noting that the ward coordinators would play a significant role in disseminating information about the manifesto, engaging communities and explaining the policies and programmes being proposed by the candidate.
She also highlighted eight key areas of Barrister Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli’s manifesto, including local government autonomy, infrastructure development, youth development, agriculture, education, security and economic development, alongside other priority areas outlined in the candidate’s agenda for Oyo State.
The State Coordinator charged the newly inaugurated ward coordinators to demonstrate commitment, dedication and consistency in carrying out their responsibilities, urging them to ensure that the manifesto reached every ward, street and household within Oluyole Local Government Area.
She stressed that effective grassroots engagement required sustained interaction with residents and a deliberate effort to ensure that the electorate was adequately informed about the candidate’s vision, policy proposals and development priorities for the state.
Hon. Farmer Omolara further underscored the importance of the ward coordinators in extending the initiative’s reach to communities, explaining that their activities would help bridge the gap between campaign leadership and the electorate through direct communication and neighbourhood-based engagement.
The inauguration was attended by an array of APC leaders and political stakeholders in Oluyole Local Government Area, including the Oluyole APC Chairman, Hon. Prince Dotun Oladipupo; the Vice Chairman, Hon. Akinwale; Hon. Elegbede; the Oluyole APC Youth Leader, Hon. Babatunde Lawal; and the Oluyole APC Women Leader, Hon. Kikelomo.

The inauguration represents another step in the BSA Neighbour-to-Neighbour Campaign Initiative’s broader efforts to strengthen its grassroots presence and deepen engagement with communities across Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Through its ward coordinators and neighbourhood-based activities, the initiative seeks to communicate the campaign message directly to residents, provide information about Barrister Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli’s manifesto and vision for Oyo State, and explain the policy proposals being presented to the electorate in support of his governorship candidacy.
The initiative also aims to extend its engagement to the candidacies of other APC flag bearers, with the stated objective of ensuring that residents are informed about the party’s candidates and their respective programmes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
With the inauguration of the Oluyole ward coordinators, the BSA Neighbour-to-Neighbour Campaign Initiative continues its drive to establish a community-centred mobilisation structure through which its message can reach residents at the grassroots, from individual neighbourhoods to streets, wards and households across the local government and beyond.
