Ogun APC Endorses Yayi for 2027 Governorship Election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has endorsed Yayi as its governorship candidate for the 2027 elections, a decision that is seen as a pivotal moment in the state's political landscape. Governor Dapo Abiodun, alongside prominent party leaders such as Solomon Adeola, Iyabo Obasanjo, Olusegun Obasanjo, Gbenga Daniel, and Ibikunle Amosun, played crucial roles in this endorsement.

This marks the first time in decades that the APC has successfully positioned a candidate from the Ogun West Senatorial District for the governorship seat. The endorsement process began months prior, with Governor Abiodun advocating for Yayi's candidacy, which was met with support from various stakeholders within the party.

Yayi's political background includes a strong record in public service and a reputation for bridging divides among political factions in Ogun State. The endorsement is expected to strengthen the APC's position in the upcoming elections and reflects a unified front among party leaders.
