Ogun NNPP Candidate Rotham Withdraws Suit Against Adeola
Akinbola Rotham, the Ogun State governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, announced his decision to withdraw Suit No. FHC/AB/CS/135/2026, which challenged Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola's eligibility to contest the 2027 governorship election based on his indigeneship claims.
Rotham stated that this decision was made in the interest of the Ogun West agenda and the overall development of Ogun State. He emphasized that the aspiration of Ogun West to produce a governor after 50 years of waiting outweighed individual political ambitions.
Rotham described Adeola as his brother and expressed the need for constructive political competition rather than divisive sentiments regarding indigeneship. He argued that governance should prioritize competence and accountability over personal interests.
Rotham's withdrawal reflects a commitment to unity and the philosophy of the NNPP, advocating for constructive engagement among political parties.
