A member of Ogun state house of assembly, representing Yewa North Constituency 1, and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Honourable Adegoke Adeyanju Awoso, has expressed satisfaction over the affirmation of Olamilekan Adeola as the APC governorship candidate for the 2027 general election in Ogun State, describing the development as the fulfilment of the long-standing Ogun West political agenda.
Awoso, popularly known as “Afi Ọ̀pá Tè Ọ̀tẹ́ Molẹ̀ 1 of Yewa Land,” in a statement made available to journalists, said he felt honoured and fulfilled to witness the emergence of Senator Adeola after years of political struggle and sacrifices by loyalists of the movement.
He recalled that his political relationship with Senator Adeola dated back to 2014 during his tenure as Organising Secretary of the APC in Yewa North Local Government under the administration of former governor, Ibikunle Amosun.
According to him, several supporters of the Ogun West Agenda faced persecution, suspension and intimidation within the party structure because of their commitment to the political vision championed by Senator Adeola.
Awoso disclosed that at the peak of the political struggle, members of the movement travelled to Abuja to protest what they described as injustice against their camp at the APC national secretariat during the tenure of former National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun.
He noted that the eventual emergence of Senator Adeola as the APC governorship candidate represented a major political victory for Ogun West and loyal supporters of the movement.
The APC chieftain described Senator Adeola as a leader with vision, courage and commitment to the development of Ogun State, particularly Ogun West, expressing confidence that he would emerge victorious at the 2027 governorship election and be sworn in as governor on May 29, 2027.
Awoso also reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Isokan State Constituency and Ogun West, stressing that his support for the Ogun West Agenda transcended personal political ambition.
He maintained that despite political challenges encountered during his quest for a third term in office, he remained steadfast in his support for Senator Adeola and the political movement.
The APC stalwart further appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, elder statesman Olusegun Osoba, Governor Dapo Abiodun, former governor Gbenga Daniel, and Senator Amosun for their support towards Senator Adeola’s emergence.
He also commended party stakeholders, elected officials and APC faithful across Ogun State for their unity and commitment to the progress of the state.
Awoso assured supporters under the Awoso Yayi Ambassadors platform that his commitment to the Ogun West Agenda would continue to grow, adding that the movement was aimed at ensuring unity, development and prosperity for Ogun State.
