Ogun West Leaders Endorse Tinubu, Adeola for 2027

Market traders, traditional rulers, and community leaders from Ogun West gathered in Ilaro, Ogun State, on March 25, 2026, to endorse President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027 and Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, known as Yayi, for the state's governorship. The event, attended by representatives from over 1,000 community heads and market associations, highlighted growing political momentum in the region ahead of the elections.

The endorsements, announced during a public forum organized by the Baales Forum and market leaders, emphasized the groups' commitment to grassroots mobilization. Participants pledged to secure at least 500,000 votes through an initiative called "Show Your PVC," aimed at boosting voter registration and turnout. Chief Adewale Adesina, Babaloja of Yewaland and Ogun State, cited Tinubu's economic reforms as a key reason for their support. "President Bola Tinubu, since assuming office, has spared no effort to reposition the country. He has taken some tough economic reform decisions that are beginning to stabilise our finances," Adesina said. He added that the president's leadership has shown visible progress nationwide, warranting continuation beyond 2027.
