Chief (Mrs) Tawa Sarafadeen Alli on Monday joined an array of prominent political figures and emerging leaders at the Oyo State Emerging Political Leaders Summit 2026, where she was decorated as an Ambassador of the Emerging Political Leaders (EPL) initiative for the state.
The summit, held at the Ibadan Civic Centre, Ibadan, was convened under the theme, “Bridging the Gap, Uniting Political Strength, and Mobilizing Emerging Leaders for 2027.”
Organised by the Emerging Political Leaders Summit and powered by the Close The Gap Initiative, the gathering brought together political stakeholders, grassroots mobilisers, youth leaders, women, community influencers and other politically relevant voices to deliberate on political inclusion, unity and strategic mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
Alli, who was specially invited to the summit, was formally recognised as a participant and subsequently decorated as an EPL Ambassador for Oyo State, underscoring the organisers’ recognition of her political relevance and standing.
Her participation in the high-level gathering was significant, particularly at a time when political stakeholders across Oyo State are increasingly focusing on coalition-building, wider inclusion and stronger grassroots structures ahead of the 2027 elections.
Alli’s attendance further underscored the relevance of the summit’s central message of bridging political gaps, fostering cooperation among stakeholders and preparing emerging leaders for greater responsibilities in the state’s political future.
