As the political atmosphere in Oyo State gradually gathers momentum ahead of the 2027 elections, conversations are already shifting from personalities to possibilities. Among those whose names are surfacing with consistency is Hon. Bolanle Aminat Sarumi (BASA), a woman whose public service record and grassroots interventions have earned her recognition across the state.
BASA’s journey in politics is not accidental. Having served in different capacities both at the state and federal levels, she has built experience that cuts across governance and people management.

Beyond the corridors of government, her BASA Foundation has been instrumental in driving social impact—particularly in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment. For many residents of Oyo State, these interventions are not mere charity; they represent what governance should ideally look like—responsive, inclusive, and people-centered.
Her aspiration to govern Oyo State raises both curiosity and debate. Nigeria’s political landscape has historically sidelined women in leadership, yet BASA represents a possibility of change. The question is not whether Oyo is ready for a female governor, but whether the electorate is prepared to weigh competence, vision, and character above entrenched interests and political traditions.

Her critics may argue that ambition alone does not translate to transformation. They are correct. However, BASA’s record suggests she is not simply chasing power but positioning to redefine leadership in a way that places citizens at the heart of governance. At a time when Oyo State must consolidate on growth, expand economic opportunities, and strengthen institutions, the role of visionary leadership cannot be overstated.

The months ahead will reveal how she builds consensus, navigates political structures, and convinces the electorate. Yet, one thing is clear: Hon. Bolanle Aminat Sarumi brings into the 2027 conversation a blend of compassion, experience, and bold vision. Whether Oyo State is ready to translate that into a mandate remains a question only the people can answer.
