The Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji, has said he has no plan to contest the 2027 Oyo State governorship election.

Speaking at the New Year service of his church in Iwo Ate, Ogo-Oluwa LGA of Oyo, on Thursday, said he had done his bid in Oyo when he served commissioner for finance in the administration of the late Abiola Ajimobi.

“I want to respond to a lot of requests. I, Zach Adedeji, will not contest for the governorship election in 2027,” he said.

He urged his well-wishers and supporters to continue to pray for him to succeed in his New position.

Adedeji was appointed FIRS boss by President Bola Tinubu in September 2023.

He previously served as the executive secretary and chief executive officer (CEO) of the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC).
