Dapo Abiodun has announced Solomon Adeola as the consensus governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) for the 2027 election.
The announcement was made during a strategic caucus meeting attended by party leaders and stakeholders, where discussions centered on succession planning and preparations for the next electoral cycle.
In a video clip from the meeting, the governor stated that the party had reached a decision on its preferred flag bearer.
Shortly after the declaration, Adeola stood to loud cheers from supporters, with chants and music filling the venue in a show of endorsement by party faithful.
Governor Abiodun emphasized the importance of continuity within the party, urging members to remain united behind a candidate capable of sustaining the APC’s political dominance in Ogun State.
The meeting, which drew key figures within the party, is seen as a significant step in shaping the APC’s strategy ahead of the 2027 governorship race. Political observers believe the early endorsement could narrow the field of aspirants and consolidate support around Adeola.
Senator Adeola, who currently represents Ogun West in the Senate, remains a prominent figure within the APC and a strong contender in the state’s governorship politics.
