Ogun LG Chair Supports Tinubu, Targets One Million Votes

Oyegbola Sodipo, the chairman of Abeokuta North Local Government in Ogun State, is spearheading efforts to rally support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election and Senator Solomon Adeola's candidacy in the 2027 elections. During a meeting held on Saturday in Abeokuta, Sodipo emphasized the need to mobilize at least one million votes for Tinubu, who is seeking a second term, and Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.

The group, which has 50,000 registered members, aims to increase voter turnout from 400,000 recorded in the 2023 elections, representing approximately 11 percent of registered voters. To achieve this, they plan to mobilize support across the state’s 236 wards, targeting a minimum of 2,000 votes per ward.

Olamid Lawal, a special advisor to Governor Dapo Abiodun on youth affairs, highlighted the importance of youth involvement in these mobilization efforts, noting that they constitute 65 percent of the population and play a crucial role in securing electoral victories.
