₦airaland Forum

The political atmosphere in Ogun State has been decisively charged as the Egba Agenda Forum (EAF) delivers a bold, unmistakable message ahead of the 2027 governorship race. In a move that has sent ripples across party lines, the Forum declared that Egbas will only support any political party that fields a confirmed, traceable Egba son as its governorship candidate.

This powerful declaration was made publicly during the Egba Agenda Forum Symposium, aptly themed “The Political Psychology of Ogun State and the Imperative for an Egba as Governor of Ogun State in 2027.” The high-level event held at the historic Centenary Hall, Ake, Abeokuta, on December 17, 2025, drew stakeholders, political leaders and grassroots supporters from across the state.

Speakers and participants at the symposium left no room for ambiguity and the Egba people are no longer willing to play peripheral roles in Ogun State politics. The consensus from the hall was loud and clear that 2027 must produce not just an Egba governor, but a competent, credible and verifiably Egba son capable of steering Ogun State toward sustainable development.

The gathering reflected a growing political consciousness among the masses, many of whom emphasized that ethnic sentiment alone is not enough. Competence, character and capacity must align with Egba identity. The Forum stressed that political parties ignoring this signal do so at their own peril.

Adding weight to the occasion was the presence of notable dignitaries and political figures, including Hon. Dapo Adeyemi, Chief Mustapha Abdulhakeem Owolabi, Hon. Arabanbi, Chief Olusegun Alawode, Chief Ogunaike, Dr. Biodun Collins Ogundipe and Chief Segun Sowunmi, among others. Their attendance underscored the seriousness of the conversation and the growing momentum behind the Egba governorship push.

As 2027 draws closer, one thing is now certain, which is that the Egba Agenda Forum has drawn the battle lines and Ogun State political parties have been officially put on notice. The road to Oke Mosan may very well pass through Ake and it must carry an Egba son.

Ogabode:
Olalekan solomon yayi is coming ✅✅

Day169:
Well, It is apparent that the Egba people are against his (Yayi's) candidature. We'll surely know in which direction the State's political wind will blow in due course.

Ogabode:
Olalekan solomon yayi is coming ✅✅

helinues:
Yayi, hope you are reading confirmation message even though I tipped you like a year ago

Owu already served 8 years while Egba only served 4 years so far. Meanwhile Remo is almost on 16 years while Ijebu is zero

jadeliyi:
Owu is no longer part of egba again

Kini gbogbo eleyi?

MEGAWATCH:
This small people in the room are they the people sending the strong message?

Anyway, we will know how strong their message is when Tinubu will speak.....



Strong message koo

Strongest chat nii.....


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OmoOgunOriginal:
I see Dr Biodun Collins Ogundipe of ADC in the pictures.


If ADC picks him as the candidate of the party, he won't have to be shopping for family house in Abẹ́òkúta like some candidates.

Proper Itoko man who finished from Abeokuta Grammar School like Dr Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Nigeria's best health minister ever.

Maybe he will Ogun State best governor ever

Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

Hahahah, Owu and Egba are different kingdom. Infact, there are 5 different kingdoms in Abeokuta but you can hardly know based on they have been relating

humberjade:
Here we go again! 😅 Who cares about the kingdoms. It is when people want to be mischievous that they will start highlighting the difference between Iru woro and Iru pete, whereas, we all know they belong to the same source. When it is the turn of any District, they can zone it to any of their sons or daughters, ko kan aye. But what nobody will do is arm-twist other zones to fit into their selfish agenda. Enough of this zoning nonsense. Out of 28 years, you've had 12 years, East 16, West 0, yet, it is your turn again? Jokers.

Like you guys will always say, the Ogun Governorship is not a gift, you have to fight for it. So we Westeners won't beg for it again, no more the marginalisation cry, or the scream of the "Yewa lokan" slogan. Let's go to the field and slug it out.

If it is not greed, out of the four Ministers from Ogun State, you have three. Out of the 2 ambassadorial nominees from ogun state, you have both. Still, you are laying claims to the Governorship slot in the next political dispensation as if it is kingship.

Las las, everybody go dey alright.

helinues:
Yewa politics, it's Egba people that are controlling it. Awori have always playing the same politics with Ogun central

bunmioguns:
Traceable Egba son? Is this a governorship race or a Chieftaincy title application?
​You people are drawing battle lines in Ake while the real decisions are being made in Iperu and Lagos. Continue playing 'Psychology' in Centenary Hall while your neighbors are playing real politics. If 'Egba Agenda' could win elections alone, Amosun would have successfully installed his successor. Joke of the year!

deeptechcool:
You keep regurgitating this at every opportunity you get. This time w be different in Ogun politics. Ogun West also has the population to be a spoiler too, remember? Yayi is the candidate to beat in APC.

Regurgitating. Hahahaha. How many years have you read what you are calling regurgitating from me that the Egba people are now confirming.

Dey play, sha make sure you score and not own goal

In all South West states, Ogun state is the most respected by president Tinubu. It get why.

Those who are expecting imposition from above can be regarded as jokers

deeptechcool:
God bless you for this. The Central always think the West are inferior to them and can never become the governor of the state. They have always been the clog in the wheel of progress of Ogun West people.

deeptechcool:
Egba people can gather but they can not prevail over the west this time. Ogun West politics is also evolving and developing, no one plays the stooge and takes the backseat forever. Even Asiwaju shouted Emily kan when the time was ripe.

helinues:
Ogun west people can not blackmail anyone. Before Amosun was rounding up his second term, the opportunity was just too Open for the Yewa people. What happen after?

Akinlande and GNI contested the next election from different party. Whose fault is that?

deeptechcool:
We know who the sponsors of GNI are at the back(Central people) to always act as a spoiler for Ogun West. Armtwisting the West at this time can never work. GNI himself mght not survive the political tornado if he misbehave this time.

helinues:
Unfortunately, Ogun west people politicians don't have a say in Ogun state. Unfortunately

When Badru was made DP to OGD, what achievements did she bring to the Ogun West region?

The current DP is also from that axis, I heard whenever she's coming to Abeokuta, she normally make use of the express way instead of the Sango Ota road. Politicians from Ogun West have always been like P in psychology

helinues:
Funny you.

You are talking about Yayi's governorship ambition from Yewa right.

Akinlande and GNI who are the top politicians from Yewa, do they share same ideology with Yayi? Even if those 3 are in the same camp, their ideologies have always been different
Same top 3 that supposed to be sharing ideas together

Ogun west people can't be playing internal saboteur game while shifting the blames on others

deeptechcool:
I wonder what impact you want a deputy to the governor to make in the state's politics. Even the SSG and CoS are more powerful than the deputy. Tell me one state where the deputy has developmental influence in the whole of the country. We know how it works and the Westerners are evolving with time.
