Opposition Not A Threat To Yayi In Ogun State – Kayode Oladele

Solomon Adeola Yayi

A lawyer and former federal lawmaker, Kayode Oladele, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party and the African Democratic Congress stand no chance in the 2027 governorship race in Ogun State. He recently had his say via a press statement made available to journalists, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Citing weak leadership choices and the growing strength of the ruling party, Oladele said the PDP weakened its own position by planning to re-present its 2023 governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, for the 2027 governorship race.

He concluded by saying that Yayi’s emergence was the outcome of wide consultations and party cohesion.

His words, “The issue goes beyond personal ambition and touches on fairness and sound political judgment. Without pre-empting, Adebutu’s emergence from the same Remo axis as the incumbent governor, Dapo Abiodun, would further complicate the PDP’s position on equity and balanced representation.

There is a growing resistance among stakeholders and voters to producing another governor from the Remo axis, so the prevailing mood favours a more inclusive distribution of power across the state’s senatorial districts.

There is a clear shift in the political environment. Key figures and grassroots supporters from opposition parties are aligning with the APC because they recognise where the strength lies.

The momentum is evident. Across Ogun State, there is increasing support for Senator Adeola Yayi. His track record, political reach and grassroots connection have positioned him as the candidate to beat.

Yayi is like a movement that no opposition can withstand or stop. It is God’s agenda, a divine assignment whose time has come, and the good people of the state have equally aligned with this reality.

The responsibility of leading Ogun State cannot be reduced to ambition. It requires capacity, experience and a clear understanding of the state’s development path.

As things stand, the opposition lacks both the structure and the momentum to compete effectively. The APC remains firmly in control, and the people of Ogun State are aligning with a future they can trust.”

WOW.
