Ogun APC Adopts Senator Solomon Adeola as Consensus Governorship Candidate for 2027

In a significant political maneuver, the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has officially endorsed Senator Solomon Adeola, widely known as Yayi, as its gubernatorial flagbearer for the upcoming 2027 elections. This decision, reached at a crucial state strategic caucus meeting, signals a strong push for party cohesion and a unified front ahead of the electoral contest.

“

Now is all the sacrifices that my brothers have put together to ensure this day comes to pass. I believe in oneness and the unity of our dear state and Ogun West by extension.

The endorsement, presided over by the state party chairman, Yemi Sanusi, saw the presence of key political figures, including Governor Dapo Abiodun and former governors Chief Olusegun Osoba, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and Gbenga Daniel. Their collective presence underscored the importance of the decision and the party's commitment to presenting a united front.

“

I know the vision for this state. I know how passionate and how central this state is to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Governor Abiodun's announcement of Adeola as the consensus candidate was met with widespread jubilation, reflecting the party's optimism about his candidacy. The governor's call for aspirants to rally behind Adeola emphasized the paramount importance of party unity over personal ambitions, a sentiment echoed by Adeola himself in his acceptance speech.

“

As far as maintaining our status aside from being the fastest-growing economy in Nigeria, all efforts that have been put in place to ensure that we reposition this state and take our pride of place in the comity of states in this country are well recognised.

Senator Adeola, in his address, expressed profound gratitude for the confidence placed in him. He pledged to uphold the existing unity, peace, and progress within Ogun State, assuring party members that he would not deviate from the established path. His commitment to keeping the party united and ensuring that all members feel included, regardless of their political leanings, resonated strongly with those in attendance. Adeola's promise to work tirelessly for the state's continued development and to maintain its status as a rapidly growing economy highlights his vision for Ogun State's future.

I want to assure you that I will not let you down.
