The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state is fully prepared for the 2027 general elections. The governor has equally pledged two million votes for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027. Abiodun made the declaration on Thursday at the Dipo Dina International Stadium, Ijebu-Ode, where thousands of APC supporters and members of Caucus 7202 gathered for a mega rally in support of the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi. The rally attracted supporters from the 20 local government areas of the state and served as a major mobilisation platform for the APC and its support groups ahead of the 2027 elections. Addressing the gathering, Abiodun said, “The large turnout demonstrated the strength, unity and grassroots reach of the APC across Ogun State.” He added that, “The achievements of our administration over the past seven years have provided a solid foundation for our great party to seek the continued support and confidence of the electorate and residents of our dear state. “I have no doubt in my mind that the ruling party is fully ready for the challenge of the 2027 elections.” The governor also commended party members for the peaceful conduct of the APC’s activities and described the emergence of Adeola as the party’s governorship candidate as an important development in the political history of the state.

He expressed confidence in Adeola’s capacity to lead the state, citing his experience, exposure and years of public service. Abiodun urged party members and support groups to intensify grassroots mobilisation and ensure that the APC’s message, programmes and achievements reached every ward and community across the state. He also reaffirmed Ogun State’s commitment to delivering two million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at the event, Adeola described Abiodun as a “silent achiever”, saying the governor’s seven years in office had produced significant achievements and laid a strong foundation for the state’s future development. The APC governorship candidate pledged to build on the achievements of the present administration and sustain the state’s development trajectory if elected governor. Adeola also dismissed reports of any political alliance between him and opposition parties ahead of the 2027 elections. He urged APC members to remain vigilant and reject what he described as overtures from opposition elements. He said the APC was fully prepared for the elections, with the structures, organisation and support base required to retain power in Ogun State. Taiwo Bankole
