The Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate for the 2027 Ogun State Governorship Election, Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as YAYI, on Thursday, June 18, 2026, held a strategic engagement meeting with APC stalwarts, stakeholders, leaders, executives, and party faithful in Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Welcoming attendees to the meeting, Senator Yayi expressed profound appreciation to party leaders and members for their unwavering support, loyalty, commitment, and contributions that culminated in his emergence as the party’s consensus candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election. He also extended heartfelt gratitude to the Governor of Ogun State, His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, for his support, encouragement, and endorsement throughout his political journey, emphasizing that the relationship between both leaders remains cordial, solid, and founded on mutual respect and a shared vision for the development of Ogun State.
Speaking on his vision for the state, Senator Yayi stressed that he would not preside over a divided Ogun State, assuring party members that his administration would prioritize inclusiveness, grassroots development, and equitable distribution of democratic dividends. According to him, governance must directly impact ordinary citizens and create opportunities that improve the welfare of the people across all communities in the state.
The APC governorship candidate further reaffirmed his commitment to continuous engagement with stakeholders across the state, while expressing confidence in the party’s preparedness and strategy for victory in the 2027 elections. He urged members not to be distracted by opposition propaganda, insisting that the APC possesses a remarkable record of achievements and performance that would naturally earn it the mandate of the electorate.
”I will not stop at the local government level alone. My contributions and commitment to the party will extend deeply to the ward level because every successful political movement begins from the grassroots. The local government serves as the umbrella body, but the wards remain the foundation of our political strength,” Yayi stated.
He also called on party members to remain united and work tirelessly to secure victory for all APC candidates during the elections, stressing that the collective aspiration for a greater and more prosperous Ogun State can only be achieved through unity, commitment, and active participation in the democratic process.
Responding on behalf of party leaders and stakeholders, APC members unanimously assured Senator Yayi of overwhelming support and eventual victory in the 2027 gubernatorial election. They cited his impressive track record of service, including infrastructural development, educational support initiatives, road construction and rehabilitation projects, electricity transformer distributions, youth and women empowerment programmes, skills acquisition opportunities, and numerous other interventions that have positively impacted communities across Sagamu and Ogun State as a whole.
