A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Bolaji Adeniji, has stated that Ogun State will experience enhanced socioeconomic and infrastructural development if Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, representing Ogun West, is elected governor in 2027.
Adeniji, also the Convener of Ogun West Initiative, made this assertion on Sunday, July 13, 2025, while addressing newsmen in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
He declared that Senator Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, is the best candidate to succeed Governor Dapo Abiodun and build on the incumbent governor’s notable achievements.

Adeniji emphasized that Ogun State is poised for unprecedented social services and development if Senator Adeola is given the mandate to lead in 2027.
“Without equivocation, Senator Adeola, whom we fondly call Yayi, has proven to be a transformational leader, and that can be seen from how he has used the legislative platform to deliver the dividends of democracy to his constituency. Within the space of two years, Ogun West has witnessed massive social and economic transformation that is unprecedented. The volume, diversity, and impact of his interventions across all sectors and in every electoral ward of the district speak to audacity of purpose, passion, and commitment to the common good,” he pointed out.
He stressed that the senator has proven himself over the years as a consummate politician and astute administrator, leaving no doubt about his capacity to deliver if entrusted with the governorship.
“By now, in Ogun West and across the state, there is a commonplace agreement that Yayi has done exceptionally well and has no rival on the merit of performance. However, people cannot yet comprehend the great plans of the senator when he becomes the governor. Some of us have listened to him at close range and are already in awe of his social and economic development plans for the state. His thoughts on urban renewal and infrastructural rebirth of the rural areas and border towns are so fascinating. Human capital development, which deals with education and healthcare, will become a priority under his social services setup such that our children and the masses will never have to walk more than thirty minutes before they access a school and primary healthcare center that are well furnished and affordable,” Adeniji stated.
“What’s more, a lot will happen with agribusiness, especially cocoa production and export, enterprise around limestone, asphalt production to enhance speedy road construction and maintenance, new economic corridors will spring up to blur the lines between Lagos and Ogun states. Of course, also, the ongoing pursuit to be an oil-producing state via exploration of the Tongeji Island basin will become a reality under his watch, if given the mandate to lead the state. These ideas and more bold initiatives will form the bedrock of his progressive blueprint, which I believe is already in the works,” he added.
Adeniji appealed to APC members and Ogun State residents to rally support for Senator Adeola’s aspiration to succeed Governor Abiodun in 2027.
“My appeal is for the people to allow Senator Adeola to extend his Midas touch to Ogun State as a whole. Some of us are pushing his agenda not only because of what he is currently doing in Ogun West but because his leadership will revolutionize Ogun, and we are confident of this,” he submitted.
