US EditionNigeria: Senator Adeola Emerges Ogun APC's Consensus Governorship Candidate
Governor Dapo Abiodun backed the senator as his preferred successor, and party leaders said the choice was meant to keep APC united.
- On Monday, the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress adopted Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola as its consensus governorship candidate for the 2027 election during a strategic caucus meeting at the State Secretariat in Abeokuta.
- This selection holds historical significance as Ogun West Senatorial District has not produced a state governor since the start of the Fourth Republic in 1999, positioning Adeola as a breakthrough candidate for the region.
- Incumbent Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun presided over the meeting alongside former governors Aremo Segun Osoba, Senator Gbenga Daniel, and Senator Ibikunle Amosun, who unanimously endorsed the senator to solidify party unity.
- Adeola, chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, assured party leaders of his commitment to continuity, pledging to "keep the flag flying" and retain the peace and progress recorded in Ogun State over three years.
- Following Abiodun Akinlade's decision to step down for the senator, party members established a unified strategy to reposition Ogun State as a leading industrialized economy in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
