Ogun LG Chair Rallies Support for Tinubu and Yayi, Backs Abiodun's Senatorial Ambitions
Lanre Oyegbola-Sodipo, the Chairman of Abeokuta North Local Government and Ogun State Coordinator of the Tinubu Support Organisation (TSO), has initiated a significant campaign to galvanize support for President Bola Tinubu's second-term bid and Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) in the upcoming 2027 elections. Oyegbola-Sodipo announced the TSO's ambitious target of securing at least one million votes for President Tinubu and Senator Adeola across Ogun State. This initiative aims to increase the vote count from approximately 400,000 in 2023 to one million in 2027, addressing concerns about voter apathy within the state.
The campaign strategy emphasizes grassroots mobilization across the state's 236 wards, with an expectation of at least 2,000 votes from each ward. Oyegbola-Sodipo convened a meeting with TSO coordinators from all 20 local government areas to brief them and urge intensified efforts to ensure victory for President Tinubu, Senator Adeola, and Governor Dapo Abiodun in 2027. He highlighted President Tinubu's economic reforms as a foundation for national growth and recovery, asserting that the President deserves re-election.
This movement also signifies strong backing for Governor Dapo Abiodun's administration and his reported senatorial aspirations. Oyegbola-Sodipo expressed confidence that the president's re-election bid is already "50 percent achieved" due to his governance record.
The efforts to bolster support for Tinubu and Adeola align with broader political developments in Ogun State. Governor Abiodun himself has publicly endorsed Senator Adeola as his preferred successor for the 2027 governorship election, describing him as the consensus choice of the All Progressives Congress (APC). This endorsement has been praised by various groups, including the Yayi Progressives Movement, which lauded President Tinubu and Governor Abiodun for supporting Adeola's candidacy, emphasizing fairness and inclusiveness, particularly for the Ogun West Senatorial District, which has not produced a governor since the state's creation.
Furthermore, 102 councillors from the nine local government areas of Ogun East Senatorial District have declared their support for President Tinubu's re-election and Governor Abiodun's potential senatorial bid in 2027. They cited Abiodun's "unmatched developmental strides" and "qualitative leadership" as key reasons for their endorsement, noting his administration's positive impact on infrastructure, healthcare, and economic development.
Twenty members of the Ogun State House of Assembly have also pledged their support for President Tinubu's re-election, citing economic stabilization and infrastructural progress under his leadership. These consolidated endorsements from local government chairmen, councillors, and state lawmakers indicate a coordinated political strategy within Ogun State to ensure continuity and support for the APC's key figures in the upcoming 2027 elections.
