The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office in 2027 and also endorsed Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, who represents Ogun West Senatorial District, as the consensus governorship candidate of the party.
The decision was taken at a strategic caucus meeting of the party held at the state secretariat in the state capital on Monday.
The meeting, which is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen party unity, review current political developments, and chart a forward-looking course for the party in the state, was attended by Governor Dapo Abiodun and his deputy, Noimot Salako-Oyedele.
Unveiling the candidate, Governor Abiodun, the leader of the party in the state, said the move was aimed at presenting a formidable candidate and breaking the jinx of Ogun West Senatorial District not producing a governor since the creation of the state.
He explained that the caucus meeting was convened to secure the buy-in of major stakeholders, adding that he had earlier met with other aspirants who agreed to support the party’s choice.
