Governor Dapo Abiodun<\/a> has named Senator Solomon Adeola as the consensus governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2027 election in Ogun State<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made on Monday during an APC caucus meeting attended by party leaders and stakeholders, where succession plans and preparations for the next electoral cycle were discussed.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the gathering, Abiodun said the party had already agreed on who should fly its flag in the governorship contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut first, we\u2019ve decided who is deserving as the next flag bearer of our dear state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Following the declaration, Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, rose to his feet as supporters cheered, while chants and trumpets filled the hall.<\/p>\n

The governor also stressed the need for unity and continuity within the ruling party, saying the choice of candidate was important to sustaining APC\u2019s political dominance in Ogun State.<\/p>\n

The endorsement is expected to shape early calculations ahead of the 2027 governorship race and could narrow the list of aspirants within the party.<\/p>\n
