\u2026.Sets two million votes target for APC in Ogun, pledges to consolidate Abiodun\u2019s achievements<\/strong><\/p>\n

By James Ogunnaike, Abeokuta<\/strong><\/p>\n

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State for the 2027 general elections, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has declared that President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term, citing what he described as the achievements of his administration in infrastructure, education and workers\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n

\n

Adeola made the declaration on Thursday at the IBD\/INUMIDUN Squad for PDA\/PBAT\/YAYI and All Ogun State APC Candidates Rally in Abeokuta, where he urged Nigerians to support Tinubu\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>\n

\n

He said the President had demonstrated the courage and political will to take difficult decisions aimed at repositioning the country and laying a foundation for sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\n

According to him, the ongoing reforms and development initiatives of the Tinubu administration should be sustained to enable Nigerians reap their benefits rather than be abandoned midway.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe strongly believe that his administration deserves a second term. President Tinubu has demonstrated the courage to take difficult decisions for the long-term benefit of our country, and the gains already recorded must be consolidated,\u201d Adeola said.<\/p>\n

\n

Highlighting some of the administration\u2019s achievements, the senator cited the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway projects, describing them as strategic investments expected to improve connectivity, facilitate trade and stimulate economic activities.<\/p>\n

\n

He also pointed to the establishment of three federal tertiary institutions in Ogun State as evidence of the administration\u2019s commitment to expanding access to higher education.<\/p>\n

\n

On workers\u2019 welfare, Adeola commended Tinubu\u2019s efforts to address pension-related challenges and improve the welfare of retirees, particularly through steps taken to ensure the payment of outstanding pension entitlements.<\/p>\n

\n

The APC governorship candidate subsequently declared a target of two million votes for the party in Ogun State in the 2027 elections, urging members and stakeholders to translate their support into electoral victories.<\/p>\n

\n

He said the target covered all APC candidates, from the presidential election to the National Assembly, governorship and State House of Assembly elections.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe, as leaders and stakeholders in Ogun State, are committed to reciprocating the good work of our President through our votes. We are targeting two million votes for all APC candidates, from top to bottom.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are resolute, determined and committed to achieving this target,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

On the state\u2019s political future, Adeola advocated continuity in governance, describing the proposed transition from Governor Dapo Abiodun\u2019s administration to another APC-led government as an opportunity to sustain the state\u2019s development trajectory.<\/p>\n

\n

He said Ogun State was making a deliberate effort to achieve continuity in governance since its creation, adding that the achievements of the Abiodun administration should provide a foundation for further development.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor the first time since the creation of Ogun State, and since the beginning of the current democratic dispensation, we are making a very strong and deliberate effort to achieve a government of continuity.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are making a bold attempt to ensure a seamless transition from one APC-led administration to another. This is the responsibility before us, and it is a responsibility we must fulfil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

Adeola commended Abiodun for his contributions to the development of the state, particularly his efforts to establish what he described as a solid economic foundation.<\/p>\n

\n

He, however, said he was prepared to consolidate the administration\u2019s achievements, address existing gaps and take the state to a higher level of development if elected governor.<\/p>\n

\n

The senator disclosed that his engagements with residents across the state\u2019s local government areas had given him a better understanding of their expectations, challenges and development priorities.<\/p>\n

\n

According to him, residents want improved road networks, quality education, functional schools, thriving markets, better infrastructure, employment opportunities and an enhanced standard of living.<\/p>\n

\n

He said these concerns would form the basis of his proposed development agenda, which he described as being anchored on continuity, consolidation, development and shared prosperity.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have travelled across the length and breadth of our state, visiting our local government areas and engaging with our people. I have listened carefully to their concerns, aspirations and expectations.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur people are asking for development. They want good road networks, quality education, functional schools, thriving markets and improved infrastructure. They also want opportunities for economic growth, employment and a better standard of living,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reaffirming his commitment to building on Abiodun\u2019s record, Adeola said: \u201cGovernor Dapo Abiodun has contributed his quota to the development of Ogun State. He has worked to establish a solid economic foundation for our state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am ready to build on that foundation. I am ready to address the gaps, consolidate on the achievements already recorded and move Ogun State forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that his proposed administration would combine the preservation of existing development gains with fresh ideas and practical solutions to address the state\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the convener of the rally, Alhaji Ibrahim Egungbohun, popularly known as Dende, urged Ogun residents to vote for Tinubu, Adeola and other APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

Egungbohun described the rally as a demonstration of unity, solidarity, loyalty and collective commitment to the continued growth, development and stability of Ogun State.<\/p>\n

He said the solidarity walk reflected the group\u2019s shared vision and determination to support the APC, its leadership and political aspirations.<\/p>\n

He also described Adeola as a politician whose political journey, grassroots connections and contributions to the party had continued to attract support among APC members.<\/p>\n

Egungbohun, however, stressed the need for party unity, urging members to uphold mutual respect, peace, understanding and constructive engagement while setting aside personal differences.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us always remember that our greatest strength lies in our unity. We must continue to uphold the values of mutual respect, peace, understanding, constructive engagement and our ability to work together as one indivisible family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He urged participants to conduct themselves peacefully and responsibly, stressing that political enthusiasm and commitment should go hand in hand with discipline, mutual respect and orderly participation in the political process.<\/p>\n
