Hon. Yusuff Saheed Adejare is a Nigerian politician and the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency of Oyo State in the 2027 House of Representatives election. His candidacy was confirmed during the APC's 2027 nomination process in Oyo State, and he was subsequently presented by the party among its House of Representatives candidates.
Adejare's political profile is associated with the Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State, where the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency is located. The constituency covers four local government areas and has traditionally been an important area of political activity in the state. His emergence as the APC candidate represents his move into the federal legislative contest for the first time.
During the APC's 2026 nomination exercise, Adejare emerged as the party's candidate for the constituency. The party's candidate list identifies him as Yusuff Saheed Adejare, while election records for the 2027 House of Representatives contest also list him under the APC. This establishes his position as the party's nominee for the constituency ahead of the general election.
His emergence was significant within the Oyo APC's broader preparations for the 2027 elections. When the party released its list of House of Representatives candidates in May 2026, Adejare was identified among those seeking their first term in the National Assembly. Unlike several of the party's Oyo candidates who were returning lawmakers, his candidacy represented an attempt to enter federal legislative politics for the first time.
The Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency encompasses a substantial part of Oke-Ogun and includes communities with significant interests in agriculture, commerce, education, infrastructure and local economic development. As the APC candidate, Adejare is seeking to secure the mandate to represent these communities at the Federal House of Representatives.
If elected, Adejare's responsibilities would include participating in federal lawmaking, debates, committee activities, budget consideration and oversight of government agencies. He would also be expected to represent the interests of constituents from Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa and advocate for federal programmes and projects affecting the constituency.
The APC formally unveiled Adejare alongside its other Oyo State candidates in September 2026. The party's presentation included all 14 of its House of Representatives candidates for the state's federal constituencies, with Adejare listed for Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa.
Yusuff Saheed Adejare therefore enters the 2027 election as an APC first-time candidate for the House of Representatives, seeking to represent Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa at the National Assembly. While detailed information about his early life, education and professional career is not widely documented in the sources reviewed, his current political position and 2027 candidacy are established through the party's candidate records and election listings.
