Ogun Will Mobilise Two Million Votes for Tinubu, Senator Adeola Declares

In a bold political declaration that has sent ripples through the political landscape of the South-West, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has asserted that Ogun State is primed to deliver no fewer than two million votes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next presidential election. The influential lawmaker and key All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain made this ambitious projection during a strategic stakeholders' engagement, highlighting the state's readiness to solidify its position as a premier APC stronghold.

Senator Adeola, who currently represents Ogun West Senatorial District and is widely regarded as a formidable force in Ogun politics, emphasized that the mobilization machinery of the ruling party in the state is being comprehensively overhauled. According to his projection, the systematic registration of new voters, combined with grassroots empowerment initiatives, will create an unprecedented voter turnout in favor of the incumbent president.

While critics have quickly pointed out the historically lower voter turnout rates in the gateway state, supporters of the senator argue that a unified party structure, backed by key developmental projects across the three senatorial districts, makes this target realistic. The assertion comes at a time of heightened political realignment as key actors begin positioning themselves for the 2027 electoral cycle.
