The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, has declared that President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term, citing his administration’s policies and investments in infrastructure, education and workers’ welfare.
Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, made the declaration on Thursday at a political rally organised by the IBD/Inumidun Squad in Abeokuta, Ogun State’s capital.
The senator, who represents Ogun West, said Tinubu had demonstrated the political will to implement difficult reforms, arguing that the administration required another term to consolidate its programmes.
He identified the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway as major infrastructure projects expected to improve transportation, trade and economic activities.
Adeola also highlighted the establishment of federal tertiary institutions in Ogun State, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and government efforts to address outstanding pension obligations.
He maintained that these initiatives reflected the administration’s commitment to national development, although the long-term economic benefits of several projects remain to be fully assessed.
Speaking on preparations for the 2027 general election, Adeola said PC stakeholders in Ogun State are targeting two million votes for the party’s candidates.
The target covers the presidential, governorship, National Assembly and State House of Assembly elections.
Turning to Ogun State politics, the governorship candidate advocated continuity in governance, pledging to build on the policies and projects of Governor Dapo Abiodun if elected.
He said his consultations across the state’s local government areas had identified residents’ priorities, including improved roads, functional schools, employment opportunities, thriving markets and better public infrastructure.
Adeola promised to address existing development gaps while sustaining projects he considered beneficial to the state.
Earlier, the rally’s convener, Ibrahim Egungbohun, popularly known as Dende, described the gathering as an expression of support for Tinubu, Adeola and other APC candidates.
Egungbohun urged party members to maintain unity, respect political differences and conduct their mobilisation activities peacefully.
Ogun APC Chairman Yemi Sanusi also encouraged party supporters to strengthen grassroots engagement ahead of the elections.
The rally formed part of ongoing political mobilisation by APC stakeholders and support groups in Ogun State.
Adeola’s assessment of Tinubu’s performance represents his political position, while the two-million-vote figure remains an electoral target rather than a projected or confirmed result.
