APC's Adeola Aims to End Ogun West's 50-Year Jinx

Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, known as Yayi and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, declared that Ogun West Senatorial District is ready to end a 50-year political jinx by producing the state’s governor in the upcoming election on February 6, 2027. Adeola, who currently represents Ogun West in the Senate, highlighted that since the creation of Ogun State on February 3, 1976, the district has never had a governor, while Ogun Central and Ogun East have held the position.

He described the 2027 election as a historic opportunity and emphasized the importance of continuity in governance to build on the achievements of the current administration led by Governor Dapo Abiodun. Adeola outlined his intention to consolidate on Abiodun's economic foundation while making necessary improvements.

He also pointed out the need to enhance Ogun's economic base and internally generated revenue, given its proximity to Lagos and existing industrial strengths. Adeola presented a nine-point development agenda titled “ITESIWAJU,” focusing on various sectors including infrastructure and education.
