Abiodun Endorses Yayi as APC Consensus Candidate for 2027
Governor Dapo Abiodun has officially adopted Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, also known as Yayi, as the consensus candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 Ogun State governorship election. This strategic move aims to break the political ambiguity surrounding the candidacy and replace it with a clear mandate, marking a significant shift in the state's political trajectory since its creation in 1976.
The decision comes as the APC seeks to consolidate its leadership and avoid internal conflicts ahead of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) primaries scheduled for May 30, 2026. The endorsement reflects a response to longstanding sentiments within the Yewa and Awori regions, advocating for fair representation in governance.
By presenting a united front, the APC hopes to mitigate potential divisions and ensure a seamless transition of power, while also addressing the economic and infrastructural needs of Ogun State.
