From Laide Raheem, Abeokuta

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has disclosed that his administration will ensure Ogun becomes oil-producing state by fully exploring the oil prospects at Tongeji Island, if elected governor in 2027.

The APC governorship candidate equally said that his administration would work assiduously towards birthing the Olokola Deep Seaport.

Adeola, who stated this while meeting with the leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Sagamu and Ikenne local government areas of the state, expressed optimism that the two projects alongside the strategic location of the Gateway Airport have potential that will make Ogun State leap to the next levels of growth and development.

Addressing the party stalwarts and chieftains during the meeting, which was part of the on-going consultations with APC stakeholders and organised groups across Ogun, he reiterated his commitment to prioritising infrastructural development, social services, and economic growth if he is given the mandate to lead the state.

He expressed gratitude to them for their unwavering support for him and the incumbent governor of the state, Dapo Abiodun.

He pledged to ensure equity and fairness among party faithful, stressing that his administration would be anchored on inclusiveness and transparency.

He said:  “I want to assure the good people of our dear state that under our leadership, Ogun will experience unprecedented infrastructural development, improved social services, and robust economic growth.”
