The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State for the 2027 general elections, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has declared that President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term in office, citing his administration’s achievements in infrastructure, education and workers’ welfare.
Adeola made the declaration on Thursday at the IBD/INUMIDUN Squad for PDA/PBAT/YAYI and All Ogun State APC Candidates Rally in Abeokuta, saying the president had demonstrated the courage to take difficult decisions for the long-term benefit of the country.
“We strongly believe that his administration deserves a second term. President Tinubu has demonstrated the courage to take difficult decisions for the long-term benefit of our country, and the gains already recorded must be consolidated,” Adeola said.
He listed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway projects, the establishment of three federal tertiary institutions in Ogun State, and efforts to address pension-related challenges as evidence of the administration’s performance.

On the future of Ogun State, Adeola advocated continuity in governance, describing the transition from Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration to another APC-led government as an opportunity to sustain the state’s development trajectory.
He said he was prepared to consolidate Abiodun’s achievements, address existing gaps and move the state forward, noting that residents across the local governments were demanding good roads, quality education, functional schools, thriving markets, employment and better standard of living.
Also speaking, the state chairman of the party, Yemi Sanusi, charged members to return to their local governments and take the gospel of the APC to the grassroots.
Sanusi said the essence of the rally is to create awareness and consolidate the party’s support base ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Egungbohun, popularly known as Dende, described the rally as a demonstration of unity and collective commitment to the growth of Ogun State.
He urged members to uphold unity, mutual respect, peace and constructive engagement.
