Senator Adeola Yayi Condemns Derogatory Campaigns, Emphasizes Politics of Inclusion
Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi and representing Ogun West Senatorial District, has publicly disowned recent derogatory attacks launched by individuals and groups claiming to support him against fellow political office holders in Ogun State.
In a statement released by his media adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, the senator expressed dismay over abusive commentaries and social media posts that have targeted political figures in the state. He made it clear that such actions were not only unauthorized but run contrary to his political values and principles.
“I am greatly disturbed by the derogatory media attacks in some online media and on social media against a honourable member of the parliament by some individuals or groups ostensibly acting to show support and defend me,” Senator Adeola stated.
“I have not mandated anyone or group to attack anyone or act on my behalf on any issue in the public domain in Ogun State.”
The controversy comes amid increasing calls from some of the senator’s supporters for him to vie for the governorship of Ogun State in the 2027 elections under the All Progressives Congress (APC). Their aggressive online campaign, however, recently drew public criticism after a political officeholder expressed concern over the tone and language used by the so-called loyalists.
Reacting to a strongly worded rebuttal issued by one such group, Senator Adeola categorically disassociated himself from the publication and condemned the use of abusive rhetoric. He stressed the need for his supporters to reflect maturity and civility in all public engagements.
“I completely disassociate myself from such deeds as they are not in my style of politics or governance,” he emphasized.
While expressing appreciation for the support he continues to receive from admirers and political associates, Senator Adeola urged his base to engage constructively and avoid actions that might threaten party unity or disrupt the political climate of the state.
As the current leader of the Ogun State Caucus in the National Assembly, Senator Adeola reaffirmed his commitment to fostering synergy with Governor Dapo Abiodun and other elected officials at both state and federal levels in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Let all my supporters know that I have not mandated them to attack anyone on my behalf. I believe in politics of inclusion and will never close the door on any perceived opponents or fellow party members, as they are likely supporters in the future,” he added.
The senator further clarified that there is no internal crisis among the state’s political leadership to justify such public altercations, reiterating his stand against any form of divisive or combative rhetoric.
He concluded by calling on his followers to focus on unity, developmental dialogue, and inclusive political engagement as the state moves toward the next electoral cycle. Read More
