By Lukman OMIKUNLE
Ogun State Deputy Governor Noimot Salako-Oyedele has publicly declared support for Senator Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2027 election, in a political move that signals a push for unity within the ruling party ahead of the poll.
Salako-Oyedele disclosed that she led leaders and members of the NSO Political Family to visit Adeola, where they presented 12,000 yards of branded Ankara fabric as a demonstration of their support for his candidacy.
In a statement recounting the visit, the deputy governor said the delegation expressed confidence in Adeola’s record of public service and his capacity to lead Ogun State if elected.
She said the group believed Adeola could build on the achievements of Governor Dapo Abiodun and take the state to greater heights.
“We expressed our joy and confidence in his candidacy, recognising his impressive track record of service and commitment to the people,” Salako-Oyedele said.
“We believe in his capacity to build on the achievements of His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun CON and Insha Allah lead Ogun State to even greater heights.”
Adeola, in his response, thanked the deputy governor and members of her political group for the donation, while stressing the need for unity and inclusion within the APC as preparations for the 2027 governorship election gather momentum.
He said, “My commitment is to build a party structure in which members would have a role to play and their contributions would be recognised. The unity within our party is essential, not only for electoral victory but also for effective governance and service delivery to the people of Ogun State,” Adeola said.
The deputy governor welcomed Adeola’s message, describing inclusiveness and party unity as important principles for the APC as it approaches the election and looks beyond the campaign period.
The meeting and the presentation of the Ankara fabric provide a public indication of Salako-Oyedele’s support for Adeola’s candidacy. The political significance of the move will depend, in part, on how effectively the party’s different groups work together across Ogun State ahead of the election.
Salako-Oyedele called for divine support for the group’s political efforts, expressing hope for a brighter future for the state.
