As the All Progressives Congress moves closer to its primaries for the Ifelodun/Offa/Oyun Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections, political observers and party stakeholders have continued to identify Hon. Akintade Abdulmutalib Shittu as one of the leading contenders in the race.
Across the three local government areas, party members and grassroots supporters have pointed to Shittu’s growing acceptance within APC structures, describing his political approach as strategic, consultative, and people-oriented.

Many party supporters within the constituency were said to be prioritising electability, accessibility, and leadership capacity as consultations intensify ahead of the primaries.
Political analysts also observed that Shittu’s strength appears to be rooted in grassroots mobilisation and his relationship with party structures across Ifelodun, Offa, and Oyun local governments.
According to some stakeholders, his aspiration has continued to attract support from ward leaders, youth groups, and community stakeholders who see him as a bridge between experienced political actors and younger progressive voices within the APC.
Observers further noted that his style of politics, centred on consultation, inclusion, and service, has positioned him as one of the aspirants to watch as the party prepares for the decisive primary election.
With political activities gathering momentum ahead of the APC primaries, supporters of the aspirant believe his growing popularity and acceptance within the constituency could play a significant role in shaping the outcome of the contest.
