…Senator Adeola pledges two million votes for Tinubu, APC candidates; as Egungbohun rallies support for Tinubu, Abiodun and Yayi, seeks continuity in governance.
Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, and renowned businessman and philanthropist, Chief Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, have intensified mobilisation for the 2027 general elections, as the IBD Inumidun Squad Mega Rally attracted a large crowd of supporters and political stakeholders to Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The rally, organised by the Inumidun Squad under the leadership of Chief Ibrahim Egungbohun, held on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Ake Pavilion, with a road walk from the MKO Abiola International Stadium to the venue, amid funfair, music and enthusiastic participation by supporters.
The gathering, which was organised to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Adeola and Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, ahead of the 2027 elections, attracted government functionaries, captains of industry, transport union leaders, community stakeholders and members of the group from different parts of the state.
Addressing the gathering, Senator Adeola commended President Tinubu for what he described as remarkable achievements in Ogun State and across the country, expressing confidence that the President deserved another term in office to consolidate his administration’s policies and developmental initiatives.
Adeola particularly highlighted the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway projects, noting that their routes through Ogun State would open up economic opportunities and strengthen the state’s development prospects.
He also listed the establishment of new universities, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), interventions in the education sector, efforts to address recurring industrial actions by university lecturers and the payment of outstanding pension obligations among the achievements of the Tinubu administration.
According to him, the President has demonstrated the political will to confront longstanding national challenges, adding that Ogun State would reciprocate the Federal Government’s interventions with massive electoral support.
The senator consequently called on supporters and eligible voters across the state to work towards delivering two million votes for President Tinubu and every APC candidate in the 2027 general elections.
Adeola, who acknowledged the importance of the Inumidun Squad’s mobilisation efforts, also canvassed continuity in governance in Ogun State, describing the forthcoming election as an opportunity to sustain the development foundation laid by the Abiodun administration.
He said his consultations across the 20 local government areas had exposed him to the development needs and expectations of the people, assuring that he was prepared to build on the achievements of the present administration and move the state to the next level.
“Ogun State must move forward. Where we need to continue, we will continue, and where we need to start something new, we will. We are ready to work for the people and ensure that the dividends of democracy reach every part of the state,” he said.
He further assured residents that his proposed leadership would address identified challenges across the local government areas, stressing that no community would be left behind in the pursuit of sustainable development.
Earlier, the convener and Chairman of the Inumidun Squad, Chief Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, described the massive turnout as a demonstration of the confidence reposed in his leadership and the group’s humanitarian and community development initiatives.
Egungbohun said the rally went beyond a political gathering, describing it as a demonstration of the people’s support for President Tinubu and Senator Adeola, whose administrations, he maintained, offered opportunities for economic recovery and infrastructural development.
He stressed that a second term for President Tinubu was important to allow the current economic reforms to mature and deliver their intended benefits to Nigerians.
The Inumidun Squad chairman also expressed confidence that Adeola’s emergence as Ogun State governor in 2027 would provide an opportunity to consolidate infrastructural and human capital development across the state, particularly in Ogun West, which he said had experienced longstanding political marginalisation.
Egungbohun, who described the mobilisation as a collective responsibility, disclosed that the Abeokuta rally was only the beginning of a wider grassroots campaign that would extend to wards and communities across the state.
He urged members of the squad and other supporters to protect their Permanent Voter Cards and translate their enthusiasm into actual votes during the 2027 general elections.
The Ogun State APC Chairman, in his remarks, commended Egungbohun for organising what he described as a massive rally, noting that the turnout demonstrated growing support for the party and its candidates.
He reiterated that the APC remained open to more supporters and urged participants to return to their respective local government areas and wards to intensify mobilisation and propagate the party’s programmes and achievements.
The rally also featured electrifying musical performances by Fuji music icons, Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, and Dr Sefiu Alao, who thrilled the audience with songs celebrating the administration’s developmental initiatives and calling for support for the APC leadership.
The event ended amid music, cultural entertainment and renewed commitments by members and supporters of the Inumidun Squad to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
