Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has formally presented Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Olamilekan Adeola, to stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun Central as the party’s consensus governorship candidate for the 2027 election.
Governor Abiodun made the presentation during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena.
The governor said the decision to support a candidate from Ogun West was aimed at promoting fairness, equity and political inclusion across the state’s three senatorial districts, noting that Ogun West had yet to produce a governor since the creation of Ogun State.
Prince Abiodun explained that the consensus arrangement followed wide consultations among party leaders and stakeholders and was later ratified at the APC state caucus meeting in Abeokuta, where Senator Adeola received unanimous endorsement.
The governor also announced the endorsement of the Senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Shuaib Salisu, as the consensus candidate for Ogun Central ahead of the 2027 elections.
Governor Abiodun described the development as a reflection of unity and political maturity within the APC in Ogun State and urged party members to remain peaceful and committed as the party’s direct primary elections commence on Friday.
Senator Adeola appreciated party leaders and members for the confidence they had reposed in him and pledged not to disappoint the people, while promising to work for the continued success of the APC in Ogun State.
