Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Ogun Central Senatorial District have endorsed the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Olamilekan Solomon Adeola, as the party’s consensus governorship candidate for the 2027 election.

The party members also endorsed Shuaib Afolabi Salisu as their senatorial candidate for 2027.

Speaking while presenting Senator Adeola to party members at an event held at the M.K.O. Abiola Stadium, Kuto, Abeokuta, Governor Dapo Abiodun said it was the turn of Ogun Central to endorse the party’s candidate after similar endorsements by party members from Ogun East and Ogun West Senatorial Districts.

He said the decision of the party stakeholders to endorse the candidate was based on the quality and experience he possesses, having served as a member of the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, and now as a serving senator.

The governor explained that the consensus method was introduced to ensure the emergence of credible and widely accepted candidates who have contributed meaningfully to the growth and development of the party in the state, adding that party executives were committed to ensuring peaceful and rancour-free primary elections.
