Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the PDP in Ogun State, has addressed opposition members, assuring them they should not fear the party's potential defeat in the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the Ijemo Zone meeting, Kolapo emphasized the PDP's commitment to support its political opponents even after electoral victories.

She acknowledged the apprehension of opposition members, explaining that politics in Ogun State has moved beyond personal gain, causing hardship for residents. Despite this, she pledged that the PDP would not abandon its opponents and that the true sons and daughters of Ogun State would always stand by each other, even after electoral defeats.

Kolapo, also the Iya Sunnah of Egbaland, has a long-standing relationship with the people of Egbaland and prioritizes their welfare. She encouraged residents to back PDP candidates in the upcoming National Assembly and Ogun State House of Assembly elections. Biodun Ogunremi, the Deputy Chairman of the PDP in Ogun State, urged party members to intensify door-to-door mobilisation in preparation for the polls.

He highlighted the public's tiredness of hardship and the opposition's support for the PDP, citing the Deputy Governor and Senator Iyabo Obasanjo as significant factors. Mustapha Owolabi, the Director-General of the PDP Campaign Council, expressed confidence in the party's prospects, describing the 2027 election as a "done deal" for the PDP, as voters in Ogun Central and other regions are ready to support the party.
