APC Yewa South Declares Support for Hon. Waliu Taiwo’s 2027 Senate Bid
In a charged atmosphere filled with emotion and admiration, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yewa South Local Government Area hosted a special political gathering in honour of Hon. (Engr.) Waliu Olayiwola Taiwo on Thursday, declaring total support for his 2027 senatorial ambition.
Described as a “tested, trusted and reliable” political figure, Hon. Taiwo was praised for his deep empathy, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to the development of Ogun West Senatorial District.
At the event held in Ilaro, party stakeholders—including the APC Secretary in Yewa South, Women Leaders, the LG Youth Leader, and all Ward Chairmen—unanimously described Hon. Taiwo as a man deserving of the Senate seat. The meeting was convened and coordinated by former Yewa South LG Chairman, Hon. Idowu Adeyemi.
“It’s payback time for Hon. Waliu Taiwo’s past good deeds,” Hon. Adeyemi declared, noting that the gathering was initiated by APC elders and leaders to express their full backing for Taiwo’s 2027 Red Chamber aspiration.
Adeyemi further commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for supporting Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, whose return to Ogun State he said has elevated legislative representation in Ogun West.
“Hon. Taiwo’s goodwill cuts across Ogun West. His legacy of building people within and outside the political space is legendary,” Adeyemi added.
APC LG Secretary Hon. Kayode Salako affirmed the party’s readiness to lead the charge for Taiwo’s senatorial bid.
“The assignment of delivering Hon. Taiwo is ours. When the time comes, we’ll take up the campaign ourselves,” he said.
Responding to the outpouring of goodwill, Hon. Waliu Taiwo expressed deep appreciation for the honour and solidarity shown by the party faithful.
“The kind words and support I’ve received here today have touched me. It confirms that what goes around truly comes around. This pushes me to do even more for our people,” he said.
Hon. Taiwo also applauded Governor Abiodun’s leadership and reiterated his full support for Senator Yayi’s anticipated 2027 governorship bid.
“Ogun West has no better opportunity than now with Senator Yayi. We must rally behind him in one voice. He’s transformed Ogun West and is expanding his impact statewide,” he stated.
He also commended the contributions of Chief Mufutau Ajibola, Chief (Mrs) Iyabo Apampa, and Hon. Olayode for their leadership roles in the “Lai for Senate” movement.
A major highlight of the event was the official presentation of “Lai Taiwo for Senate” banners to all Ward Chairmen to kickstart grassroots mobilization across the LG.
Dignitaries who accompanied Hon. Taiwo from Ado-Odo/Ota LG included Chief Ayo Akanbi (Agbara Ward), Elder Taiwo Oke, Chief Samson Olapo, Hon. Kayode Taiwo, Hon. Oweyon, Ogun State Chairman of Ward Chairmen Hon. Yakubu Olanrewaju (Ijoko Ward), and several women leaders.
With the resounding endorsement, Yewa South LG has firmly positioned itself as a stronghold ready to drive Hon. Lai Taiwo’s senatorial ambition into full motion. Read More
