Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as YAYI, has taken his ongoing grassroots consultation and engagement tour to Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, where he met with APC leaders, party members, community stakeholders and supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The stakeholders’ engagement, which formed part of efforts to strengthen the party at the grassroots, provided a platform for frank discussions, familiarisation and renewed commitment among APC members and stakeholders across the local government.
A major highlight of the meeting was the formal presentation and introduction of the party’s candidates for the forthcoming elections. The candidates presented were Hon. Jimoh Ojugbele, who is seeking election as Senator to represent Ogun West Senatorial District; Hon. Toyin Taiwo, House of Representatives candidate for Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency; and Otunba Bisi Oyedele-Citiside, candidate for the Ipokia/Idiroko State Constituency.
The presentation allowed the candidates to directly interface with party leaders, members and grassroots stakeholders, while providing an opportunity for them to familiarise themselves with the various party structures and constituencies they seek to represent.
Speaking during the engagement, the stakeholders emphasised the importance of unity, effective grassroots mobilisation and coordination among party members as the party continues its preparations for the 2027 elections.
The meeting also served as a platform to reinforce collaboration among APC leaders and supporters across Ipokia Local Government, with participants reaffirming the need for a strong and united party structure capable of sustaining the APC’s presence at the grassroots.
The ongoing consultation by Senator Adeola is expected to continue across other parts of Ogun West and the state, as the party intensifies engagement with its members and stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
