The All Progressives Congress’ governorship candidate for the 2027 Ogun State election and senator representing Ogun West, Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, on Friday visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, in Abeokuta, seeking their moral support in his bid to succeed Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Adeola said he would incorporate the recommendations and counsel offered by Obasanjo into his administration’s plans and programmes if elected governor in 2027.
Speaking with journalists after his meeting with Obasanjo at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Adeola described the visit as fruitful, saying the former President shared his expectations for the development of Ogun State and offered guidance on governance.
He said, “I am here to pay homage to our father, the father of the nation, a former President and a respected national leader. As you can see, we received a very warm reception.
“We came to seek his support, his blessings and his guidance, and he graciously gave us all three.
“In his remarks, he made his views loud and clear. He spoke passionately about the future of the state, his expectations and what he believes we must do to keep the state on the right track.
“We have listened carefully, taken his advice to heart, and we will incorporate it into our plans and programmes as we move toward 2027.
