‘Exploring Politics, Governance & Representation’: OOPA to Host PRP Gov Candidate Rasaq Oyelami on Friday

THE Osun Online Publishers Association (OOPA) has announced plans to host the Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in Osun State, Dr. Razaq Saliu Oyelami, at a media parley ahead of the next governorship election in the state.

The Chairman of the association, Abioye Tosin Lawrence, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, saying the event, themed “Exploring Politics, Governance and Representation Ahead of Osun Election,” is scheduled to hold on Friday, June 19, 2026, by 2:30 p.m.

According to Lawrence, the engagement is part of OOPA’s commitment to promoting issue-based political discourse and creating avenues for meaningful interaction between political actors and the electorate.

“The media parley is designed to provide a platform for robust discussions on politics, governance and representation, while also giving the people of Osun State the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the vision and policy direction of Dr. Razaq Saliu Oyelami,” he said.

Lawrence noted that the PRP governorship candidate is expected to speak on his plans for Osun State and address issues affecting residents across key sectors of the economy.

“Dr. Oyelami will have the opportunity to share his perspectives on governance, economic development, education, healthcare, agriculture, youth empowerment, infrastructure, security and other matters of public interest,” he stated.

He added that the session would also allow journalists to engage the candidate on questions relating to leadership, policy implementation and representation ahead of the governorship election.

“As an association, we remain committed to strengthening democratic engagement through responsible journalism and informed public conversations. We believe that citizens should have access to the views, programmes and policy positions of those seeking to govern them,” Lawrence said.

The OOPA chairman further stressed the importance of sustained interaction between political stakeholders and the media, noting that such engagements contribute to a more informed electorate and help deepen democratic culture.

He therefore encouraged journalists, civil society groups, political stakeholders and members of the public to follow the discussions as the PRP governorship candidate shares his vision for the future of Osun State.

He concluded that the Parley will be livestreamed via the association’s Facebook page for general public to watch and engage
