Chairmen and members of the African Democratic Congress, ADC in Ogun East Senatorial District of Ogun State have collapsed their political structure and decamped to work for Senator Solomon Adeola aka Yayi, the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Ogun State.
Speaking over the weekend during an ongoing interactive session with various groups desirous of working with the APC governorship candidate, Dr. Erinle Opeoluwa, the ADC chairman for Ijebu North East and the chairman of all ADC chairmen in Ogun State said that the chairmen from ADC have decided to pitch their tents with Senator Adeola as they are tired of playing opposition politics that has led to nowhere for most of them for over three electoral rounds stressing that most of them have been made poorer playing opposition politics in Ogun State.
He said they have analyzed the circumstances of the race towards Ogun 2027 and came to the conclusion that it will not be right for an Ogun East candidate to succeed the incumbent from Ogun East stressing that they are witnesses to the massive infrastructural development and empowerment that Senator Adeola has attracted to the state even without being the governor.
Other chairmen of the ADC and prominent members of the opposition party that were at the declaration session with a promise for open and celebrated declaration during campaign includes Hon. Kazeem Bolaji Adebanjo, Ijebu North LGA, Hon. Dehinsilu Ayodele Olusegun, Ikenne LGA, Hon, Gbade .A. Oluwasegun, Ijebu Ode, Hon. Shittu Rasaq Titilola, Ijebu East LGA, Omooba Hassan Kazeem, Sagamu LGA, Prince Adegoroye Osubukola, Remo North LGA, Alhaji Salisu Abdulwaheed, Odogbolu LGA, Hon. Ibidunni Fatai Adetola and Hon. Yemi Macauley both chieftains of ADC from Ijebu Ode.
Hon Macauley said they were further motivated to join Senator Adeola in his governorship bid by their discovery that all their followers and party members were already with Senator Adeola through various support groups and are unwilling to withdraw their support for Senator Yayi.
Other groups that pledged their support during the interactive sessions are the leadership of Market Men and Women of Remoland led by the Iya Oloja General of RemoLand, Chief (Mrs) Olasonde Oduwaiye, Miraculous Movement for Yayi , PDP members from Abeokuta North LGA and OGD Coordinators from Ogun East Senatorial District.
Addressing all the groups individually after their declaration of support, Senator Adeola assured them of the being included in his campaign structure adding that his policy of inclusion does not discriminate against any Ogun State indigene that join him in the race for Ogun 2027.
“I want to assure you all that you have made the right decision to join me in this race to make Ogun State better and a model from 2027. You are not joining to work for me but work with me in making our state a better place. I promise you that you will not regret your action and I will not take you for granted” he stated.
