Solomon Adeola:Ogun Should Not Be State Where You Make Money and Spend It in Lagos

Senator Solomon Adeola, also known as Yayi, is set to run for the 2027 Ogun State governorship election as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress. A seasoned legislator with over two decades of experience, Adeola has served as the Senator representing Lagos West from 2015 to 2023 and Ogun West since 2023. He has outlined his plans for industrialization, improved infrastructure, job creation, and inclusive growth, emphasizing the need for Ogun to maintain more economic value from businesses operating within its borders.

Responding to controversies surrounding his indigeneity and name change, Adeola cites verifiable documents and official records, including the burial grounds of his parents and ancestors, to establish his claim to Ogun State. He expresses his determination to not be distracted by such issues and asserts that those attempting to discredit him will not succeed.

Adeola also shares his political journey, which began with the June 12, 1993 struggle, leading him to eventually return to his home state, Ogun, after 12 years in the Federal House of Representatives and eight years as a Senator representing Lagos West. He believes his legislative experience, including serving as the Chairman of the Coordinating Bureau of the Lagos State House of Assembly, makes him well-prepared for the governorship.
