From Laide Raheem, Abeokuta
The consensus governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State for the 2027 general election, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, has vowed to sustain peaceful and consensual transition of administrations as being established by the incumbent governor of the state, Dapo Abiodun.
Adeola who is currently the senator representing Ogun West at the National Assembly, stated this while speaking shortly after he was unveiled and affirmed at the APC Ogun Central Senatorial District Stakeholders and Strategic Meeting, held at the M.K.O Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta.
He commended Governor Abiodun for his laudable contributions to the socio economic and political development of Ogun State, adding that when elected as the governor, he will not only sustain and build upon the achievements but further ensure rancor-free political interactions in the state.
“I am very conscious of the honour done to me with my historic emergence as the consensus candidate of the ruling party in our dear state. I will not take it for granted and will work assiduously to sustain it in the years ahead”, Adeola said.
The senator noted that his first endorsement as the consensus candidate had occurred in Ogun Central by all APC leaders and caucus in Ogun State, stressing that it is gratifying that another affirmation took place here in the senatorial district of his maternal origin.
Adeola, however, disclosed that he would embark on a “thank-you-tour” of all the 74 Wards of Ogun Central after the party’s primaries.
