Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Ogun West), the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Ogun State, announced his intention to immortalize the late Nollywood actor Hassan Taiwo (Ogogo) if he is elected as governor in 2027. During a condolence visit to Ogogo’s family in Ilaro on Tuesday, Adeola expressed his sadness over the actor's passing, describing him as a personal friend and a cultural ambassador.

He noted that Ogogo's death was a significant loss not only for the entertainment industry but for Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole. Adeola recounted efforts made to secure medical treatment for Ogogo abroad before his death, revealing that arrangements had been made for his travel to India.

He emphasized Ogogo's dedication to his political aspirations and announced plans to appoint him as Special Adviser on Culture and Tourism with full cabinet rank if elected. Adeola recognized Ogogo's grassroots mobilization efforts, particularly through the 'Governor’s Boys' support group.
