Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Remo Division of Ogun East Senatorial District have unanimously endorsed Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, as their preferred candidate for the Senate in the 2027 general elections.

The endorsement was announced at a well-attended meeting of party leaders on Tuesday, where stakeholders across the division urged the governor to contest the Ogun East Senatorial seat.

Chief Muri Awolaja, an apex APC leader from Sagamu Local Government Area, moved the motion, describing Abiodun as an achiever and a true son of Remoland and Ogun East who is eminently qualified to represent the district at the National Assembly. The motion was seconded by a former Chairman of Remo North Local Government Area, Dapo Odunsi.

Council chairmen in the zone — Hon. Muyiwa Sodade of Remo North and Hon. Jamiu Asimi of Ikenne — also appealed to the governor to heed the call.

“We are at the grassroots and can confidently say that the good people of Remoland and Ogun East are waiting for you to represent them in the Senate from 2027. This is our way of appreciating the remarkable work you have done as governor,” Asimi said.

The formal endorsement was later announced by a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), Chief Kola Ogunjobi, in the presence of prominent APC leaders, including the Ogun East APC Chairman, Chief Adeleke Adedoyin; apex leader, Otunba Dapo Osho; Hon. Sikiru Awosipe;

Commissioner for Environment, Hon. Ola Oresanya; Special Adviser on Women Affairs, Mrs Ayotunde Lawal; SUBEB Chairman, Hon. Olalekan Ifede; Special Adviser on Political Matters, Apagun Biyi Adeleye; Hon. Koye Ijaduoye; Hon. Ganiu Odufuwa (OGO); Hon. Segun Ogunleye; Muda Odukale; and Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications, Otunba ’Dare Odufowokan, among others.

Ogunjobi said the decision followed extensive deliberations and an appraisal of the Abiodun administration’s performance.

He cited achievements in infrastructure, education, security, housing, industry, investment and social welfare, noting that over 1,600 kilometres of roads have been constructed within six years, the Gateway International Airport completed, and reforms introduced that attracted a significant share of new manufacturing investments to Ogun State.

“If he has done this much as governor, bringing him home to represent Ogun East will deliver even greater dividends for Remoland and the entire district,” Ogunjobi added.

Party officials from the three local government areas, including chairmen, vice chairmen and secretaries, pledged full mobilisation and grassroots support should the governor declare interest in the race.

They expressed pride in Abiodun’s achievements and resolved to spearhead the push for his emergence as the APC candidate for Ogun East Senatorial District in 2027.
