In an interview with Parrot FM, an Oyo-based media platform, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said he is ready to shift gears from legislative duties to the demands of executive leadership.

“This is the third time I would be a senator and the fourth time I would go to the national assembly. I’m a core legislator. I’ve tried,” he said.

“But what I really want to do, if God grants me, is to become the governor of Oyo state.”

Buhari ruled out the possibility of returning to the red chamber, even if the senate ticket is zoned to his local government.

“Even if they bring the senate to our side again or and the Oke Ogun are given another thing, I won’t come out as a senator anymore — unless it is for governor,” he said.

“Let another person do it. We will train some of those coming behind us to contest. We will train him, and he will excel.”

Afeez Kilani, senior legislative aide to the senator, confirmed that his principal will run for the Oyo governorship seat in 2027.

“For clarification, he said the people in Oyo State want him to contest for the governorship in 2027. Having served for three as senator, they feel he is qualified to be governor,” Kilani told TheCable on Sunday.

Buhari’ s political career began in 2003 when he was elected into the house of representatives to represent Ogbomoso north, Ogbomoso south and Oriire federal constituency.
