Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state is fully prepared for the 2027 general elections.
Abiodun made the declaration on Thursday at the Dipo Dina International Stadium, Ijebu-Ode, where thousands of APC supporters and members of Caucus 7202 gathered for a mega rally in support of the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.
The rally attracted supporters from the 20 local government areas of the state and served as a major mobilisation platform for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
Abiodun said the large turnout demonstrated the strength, unity and grassroots reach of the APC across Ogun State.
He added that the achievements of his administration over the past seven years had provided a solid foundation for the party to seek the continued support and confidence of residents.
“I have no doubt in my mind that the ruling party is fully ready for the challenge of the 2027 elections,” the governor said.
Abiodun commended party members for the peaceful conduct of the APC’s activities and described Adeola’s emergence as the party’s governorship candidate as an important development in the political history of the state.
He expressed confidence in Adeola’s ability to lead Ogun State, citing his experience, exposure and years of public service.
The governor urged APC members and support groups to intensify grassroots mobilisation and take the party’s programmes, policies and achievements to every ward and community across the state.
He also reaffirmed Ogun State’s commitment to delivering two million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Adeola, who is also the Senator representing Ogun West, described Abiodun as a “silent achiever,” saying the governor’s seven years in office had produced significant achievements and laid a strong foundation for the state’s future development.
The APC governorship candidate pledged to build on the achievements of the present administration and sustain the state’s development trajectory if elected.
Adeola also dismissed reports of any political alliance between him and opposition parties ahead of the 2027 election, urging APC members to remain vigilant and reject what he described as overtures from opposition elements.
He maintained that the APC had the structures, organisation and support base required to retain power in Ogun State.
The declaration comes as political parties intensify grassroots mobilisation across the country, with the APC in Ogun seeking to consolidate its position ahead of what is expected to be a competitive 2027 electoral contest.
