2027: Ogun CityBoy movement targets 2m votes for Tinubu, backs Yayi

Senator Solomon Adeola, also known as Yayi, visited President Bola Tinubu in Lagos to express gratitude for the President's support towards Ogun State projects. Adeola, who aspires to be the APC candidate for Governor of Ogun State in the 2027 elections, met with Tinubu after the President returned from vacation. During this meeting, Adeola took advantage of the opportunity to discuss matters concerning Ogun State and the Federal Government's ongoing initiatives.

The senator highlighted the significance of projects such as the Gateway Deep Seaport and the Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone, both of which received substantial financial backing from the federal government. This meeting also allowed Adeola to personally acknowledge Tinubu's contribution in support of Ogun State, as outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) worth $7 billion.

The gathering also included other senior political figures from the Federal Government and Lagos State Government, such as Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
