Ogun APC Unveils Yayi’s Running Mate

Solomon Adeola Yayi

The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has unveiled Alhaja Kudirat Adegunwa-Balogun as the APC’s deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 election. Kudirat is a chartered accountant and the daughter of industrialist, Alhaji Adebola Adegunwa.

Announcing her emergence during the APC Strategic Caucus Meeting held at the party secretariat in Abeokuta, Governor Dapo Abiodun stated that the decision followed extensive consultations with party leaders and stakeholders across the state.

Describing the process as unprecedented in the Ogun State’s political history, Abiodun hailed party leaders and members for maintaining unity throughout the just-concluded primary elections.

His words, “I have never witnessed anything like this in my years in politics in Ogun State.

For the first time, leaders across generations came together to collectively endorse a successor, and that decision was accepted peacefully by all stakeholders.

What we achieved reflects the true Ogun spirit. History will be kind to all of us because we have demonstrated that peaceful succession and consensus-building are possible in our politics.

If the government is coming from the West, we felt that for equity and fairness, the government should come from the East.

So today, it gives me great pleasure to announce to us who our deputy governor will be by the grace of God. Today, we have amongst us Mrs. Kudirat Abiodun Adegunwa-Balogun and by the grace of God, Mrs. Adegunwa-Balogun will be our deputy governor.”

WOW.
