Ogun West governorship: Exclusion jinx broken —Akinwande
*Congratulates Adeola
Dr Gbenga Akinwande, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yewa, Ogun State, described the endorsement of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi) as the APC’s governorship candidate as a positive development.
Before the party endorsed Aseola, Akinwande advocated for Ogun West to produce the governor in 2027 and remains a strong supporter of Adeola’s governorship ambition.
Akinwande, while congratulating Adeola, described the recent development as a dream come true for the people of Ogun West.
“Ogun West has eventually broken the jinx; it is an opportunity to be at the helm of affairs and leadership in Ogun State,” Akinwande said.
He appreciated the efforts of President Tinubu, Governor Dapo Abiodun, Aremo Segun Osoba, Senator Gbenga Daniel, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and all leaders who came together for the first time to support the candidacy of Senator Olamilekan Adeola to emerge as the consensus candidate of the APC.
Akinwande, in a statement he personally signed, commended Adeola’s record of service, citing projects such as the electrification of communities’ transformer distribution, solar-powered Street lighting, boreholes, scholarships, road rehabilitation, and empowerment initiatives that have directly impacted communities.
Akinwande added that leadership is about capacity, courage and compassion, qualities he said Adeola has consistently demonstrated.
He stressed that the senator has built bridges across Ogun’s three senatorial districts, earning acceptance beyond his native Ogun West.
According to him, the call for Adeola to step forward is not driven by sentiment but by performance and proven competence.
He concluded that the leaders have spoken with one voice, and their message is clear: they want continuity, justice, and visionary leadership demonstrated by Adeola’s predecessors.
