…vows to mobilise highest votes for Tinubu’s re-election
An Ogun State-based political group, Yayi Progressives Movement (YPM), has announced a N1billion donation and unveiled 27 branded buses to support the 2027 governorship ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, in the state.
The twin donations were made at the unveiling and official inauguration of the group at Ake Palace Pavilion, Abeokuta, where its Convener, Armstrong Akintunde, said the funds and vehicles would be deployed for campaign logistics and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the polls.
Akintunde, who equally inaugurated the State Executive Members of YPM led by a House of Assembly member, Hon. Olusegun Kaka, expressed the readiness of the state to deliver the highest number of votes in the South West region for the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
According to him, the group is committed to ensuring the emergence of Senator Adeola as the next governor of Ogun State.
“This is not about an individual. It is about securing the future of Ogun State. Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi represents competence, continuity, and a proven track record. We are making these donations because we believe in the vision of the APC candidate,” he remarked.
The convener maintained that the moves being made by opposition coalition cannot stop Tinubu’s re-election as well as the victory of the ruling party’s gubernatorial candidate in the state.
“Our leader has given us a marching order. We want to assure you that come 2027 election, Ogun State will deliver the highest number of votes in the entire western Nigeria. This assignment has been made very easy for us with the collaboration and efforts of our party leaders,” he stated.
Akintunde commended the incumbent governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, for his leadership and steadfastness in driving infrastructural development and promoting peace in the state.
“We are grateful for what the current administration has done. Our support for Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi is to ensure those gains are consolidated,” he added.
Akintunde further said, “Today represents another significant milestone in the evolving history of political movements in Ogun State. The Yayi Progressives Movement has come a long way; emerging from DACA, through Omoluabi, and now standing strong in its current form.
“This journey is a testament to our unity and determination to mobilise the people of Ogun State toward the realization of our party’s goals, particularly in securing decisive electoral victories for all our candidates across the state.”
Earlier in his speech, Kaka stated that the inauguration marked the collective commitment of YPM members to progress, unity and vision.
The Coordinator urged members to “remain focused on our goals, strengthen our bonds, and continue to work tirelessly for the growth and development of our people and our dear state.”
