As a proud son of Ogun State and a passionate witness to the remarkable transformation unfolding across Ogun West Senatorial District, I feel an undeniable sense of duty to make this heartfelt call:
Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI), CON — it is time to take your selfless service to a higher level. I urge you to contest for the office of Governor of Ogun State in 2027.
Your stewardship as the distinguished Senator representing Ogun West has been nothing short of inspiring. You have consistently demonstrated uncommon intelligence, diligence, and an unwavering commitment to public good. Through your legislative acumen, several impactful bills you sponsored have become laws — shaping lives and securing brighter futures for countless Nigerians.
Beyond the hallowed halls of the Senate, your tangible impact has resonated across Ogun West and beyond:
- Roads constructed,
- Healthcare centers built and equipped,
- Farmers, artisans, market men and women empowered,
- Scholarships awarded to deserving students,
- Rural water schemes initiated,
- Solar and renewable energy projects launched, and
- Widespread community electrification made possible.
These are not mere projects — they are life-transforming interventions.
Your vision for Ogun State is bold and necessary. A vision anchored on:
- Mechanized agriculture and a full agro-industrial value chain,
- Solid mineral development,
- Enhanced security architecture,
- Qualitative education,
- Robust infrastructure, and
- Comprehensive worker welfare.
I recall vividly one morning when we spoke for over three hours — from 5 a.m. to past 8 a.m. Your passion for mechanized agriculture stood out. You said, and I quote:
“Damochee, there is no reason why we shouldn’t go back to mechanized agriculture in Ogun State. It has been done before and we will do it again. The Governor (D.A.) has really made it easy for us to ensure the complete value chain with the construction of the Gateway International Airport, where real export can take place without going through Lagos.”
This, Senator YAYI, is the mindset Ogun State needs. A leader who sees beyond the immediate. One who prepares for tomorrow, today.
The 2027 gubernatorial race must not be about ambition; it must be about capacity and proven service — and you, YAYI, embody both.
Ogun West. Ogun Central. Ogun East. Now is the time to unite behind a man who has not just talked governance — but delivered it. You have been prepared not only by politics, but by performance.
Indeed, as you rightly said:
“Damochee, we must thank God, and we must thank the Governor, because if he had said no, it might not have been possible. We have to thank Baba Osoba too…”
I join you in thanking His Excellency Governor Dapo Abiodun, CON, for his leadership and for laying the groundwork for a more inclusive Ogun State. His commitment in 2023 made this journey possible and fruitful.
Now, it’s time to build on that foundation. It’s time to elevate good governance to a higher level.
This is not just politics.
This is PURPOSE.
This is SERVICE.
This is DESTINY.
2027 is calling. Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI), answer the call. Lead us forward.
God bless Ogun State.
