Solomon Adeola Yayi Campaigns for Ogun West in 2027 Elections
Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi, the Ogun All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, is preparing for the 2027 gubernatorial election amid criticism from opposition parties. The Ogun West Senatorial District, which he represents, has been historically marginalized, having never produced an elected governor since Ogun State's establishment in February 1976.
The district, predominantly inhabited by the Yewa and Awori people, comprises local government areas such as Yewa South, Yewa North, Imeko Afon, and Ipokia. Despite its strategic location with numerous border areas with the Republic of Benin, Ogun West remains the least developed district in the state.
Political stakeholders from Ogun West, including supporters of Yayi, are mobilizing to end this five-decade exclusion from governance. Yayi has a legislative career spanning over two decades, having previously served in the Lagos State House of Assembly and the National Assembly.
