Though ‎governorship candidates of each of the political parties in Oyo State will pick their deputies after emerging from primary, Inside Oyo presents names of those that may be picked as deputy governorship candidates as Oyo 2019 beckons.

1) Olatubosun George Oladele: The igbeti-born politician currently represents Irepo/Oorelope/Olorunsogo federal constituency in the House of Representatives under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

2) Lanre Agoro: He represented Irepo/Oorelope‎/Olorunsogo federal constituency under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) between 2007 and 2011. He later sought re-election under the APC but lost to a former state assembly member, Hon. Afees Jimoh. Not satisfied, the Igboho-born lawyer and agricultural scientist went to court and re-run was declared. He lost again. He has since joined the Labour Party. Out of the 10 local government areas in Oke-ogun where he comes from, the LP won only in his Oorelope local government area. He delivered the state assembly by-election to LP after the demise of the former occupant. He is rumoured to be nursing ambition to deputise Engr. Seyi Makinde of the Social Democratic Party.

8) Adepeju Esan: Though the former state assembly member has her eyes on the Reps seat of Ibadan North federal constituency, she may be picked as a running mate if a Muslim from Oke-ogun part of the state gets the APC ticket. She is from Ibadan North.

9) Tajudeen Kareem: He was the only Reps member elected on the platform of the defunct Action Congress (AC) in 2007 but later defected to the PDP.
