Yayi: Support Fund Crosses Over ₦1 Billion as Jide Ojuko, Segun Ojolowo, Others join Donors
An update has emerged in “Friends of Yayi Support Initiative” following a sharp rise in its fundraising efforts as prominent figures joined the donor base backing Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi in the build-up to the 2027 Ogun State governorship race
Newsheadline247 gathered that total contributions have now climbed over one billion naira, drawn from hundreds of supporters across business, political, and grassroots networks, marking a significant show of strength for a campaign that is already gaining statewide attention.
The latest update confirms that additional high-profile donors, including Chief Jide Ojuko and Hon. (Chief) Segun Ojolowo-Ojuko, among other prominent personalities, joined the growing list of contributors, further boosting the financial base of the initiative.
Newsheadline247 reports that notable figures such as businessman Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, Bukola Olopade, Director General of the National Sports Commission, and Senator Lekan Mustapha, alongside a wide network of political allies whose combined backing reflects increasing alignment behind Adeola’s ambition.
Observers say the rising fund is more than just a financial milestone, as it points to a growing coalition forming within the All Progressives Congress and beyond. The scale and speed of the fundraising effort suggest that Adeola’s campaign is consolidating support early, positioning him as a major contender ahead of what is expected to be a highly competitive race.
For many supporters, the significance of Adeola’s bid goes beyond party calculations. His candidacy has been closely tied to renewed calls for power rotation in Ogun State, particularly the push for Ogun West to produce a governor for the first time since the state was created. This sentiment continues to resonate across sections of the electorate and is increasingly shaping the political conversation ahead of 2027.
With momentum building and financial backing strengthening, the latest update signals that the race is beginning to take clearer shape, with Adeola’s camp gaining visibility and influence as political activities gradually intensify across the state.
