Ogun Transport Unions Endorse Solomon Adeola for 2027
On October 6, 2026, nine transport unions in Ogun State, collectively known as the Transport Unions Alliance for Yayi, endorsed Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, as the governorship candidate for the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 election. This endorsement was announced at a rally held at the Ake Palace Pavilion in Abeokuta.
The unions included the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, National Union of Road Transport Workers, Ogun State Park Management Services Limited, and several motorcycle and tricycle associations. Tiwalade Akingbade, the Chairman of the planning committee and State Secretary of RTEAN, stated that this was the first time the transport unions had collectively supported a governorship candidate, emphasizing their backing was based on Adeola's capabilities rather than ethnic considerations.
Akingbade presented an endorsement card signed by all nine union chairmen. Alhaji Shamsudeen Apelogun, the National President of ACOMORAN, highlighted the unions' political awareness and their potential to influence political choices in Ogun State.
