The Ogun-East Assembly for Yayi, a political support group in Ogun State, has formally endorsed President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term and Senator Olamilekan Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, for the Ogun State governorship race in the 2027 general elections.

The twin endorsement was announced on Sunday during a grand celebration at the Omo-Ilu Open Ground, Ijebu-Igbo, held in honour of Senator Adeola’s 56th birthday and to publicly declare support for his governorship ambition.

In his opening remarks, Convener of the Ogun-East Assembly Political Family, Hon. Samuel Adejare, described Senator Adeola as a political figure whose influence cuts across divides, having undergone political tutelage under President Tinubu.
