It will be so hard for Yayi to become the next Governor in Ogun State because he will hardly have egba's and ijebu's votes . Yewa are divided as usual, so his chances are slim .

Demetrix:
Anything that doesn't make tinubu president in 2027, I'm in support.

BewareOf419:
You will be shocked that na dis same Egbas and Ijebus will vote massively for him!

lenghtinny:
Yayi will win as long as Tinubu is President
Dapo is an orphan in Ogun state politics, he can’t influence shit

Even the Ijebus where he comes from do not like him

helinues:
If Yayi is the candidate the Ogun West people will be presenting in 2027, they should forget about it

Ogun West are minority in Ogun state politics. Infact, it's Ogun central people that command the politics of the area. Find better candidate apart from Yayi or loose out

No be Yoruba sub-tribalism be this? I thought all Yorubas were one? 😏

helinues:
Because Ogun state is the most respected states by president Tinubu amongst all the states in Nigeria. The outburst before the election all happened in the state.

Those who view Ogun politics from afar don't know how complicated and sophisticated the state is

President, Vice president, Speaker, major political position under democracy, no state in Nigeria is close to Ogun state

Bostin:
You spoke with wrong mindset , do you prefer a wrong candidate to be rigged in because he has the president connection? Let the people make their choice for better living and good governance.

Mynd44:
The OP is right though.

OGD, Amosun and Governor Dapo Abiodun are or used to be close friends.

Maybe it is a matter of Birds of a feather

Bostin:
It's called a game of politics, you know nothing about it .

AbosedeFalade:
"No state in Nigeria is close to Ogun State" because they have produced president, vice, etc, under democracy, you said?

Well, stop being delusional. There's a state in Nigeria called "Katsina State" that has produced two presidents, speaker and other major political posts in this same democratic dispensation.

I wonder when some of you will grow pass ethnocentrism.

Where are you from? Seems you're far away in Ogun politics 2027. Yayi is the candidate to beat and the opinion poll favours him ahead of others. Come to 2027, Yayi is the next Governor by His Grace.

helinues:
So if he indeed had Ogun people at heart, how come they have not been seeing his hand when he was representing Lagos state?

If he indeed care about his own people from Ogun West, why is the Sango Ota road still in dilapidated. Even though his duty is not to build the road but to oversight. The road contract have been awarded severally, what has he Yayi been oversighting? Why has he refused to speak up on what he observed from his oversighting except if he had a share

shallar1:
Then you are not aware and decided not to be aware, he constructed the Asade Agunloye Pavilion in Ilaro as Lagos Senator, Bola Market road and his GRA house road was constructed when he was representing Lagos, before becoming Ogun West Reddest

Those that refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it

I am not against Yayi ,I vote for good governance. May God help him if he's the right person to take Ogun State higher .

We don't have short memory here. When Amosun presented Akinlande from Ogun West as his successor before completing his second term, why did GNI from same Ogun West contest?

So which turn are you talking about?

Based on his antecedents, Adeola’s biggest strength is his proven capacity to transcend regional politics. His track record as a seasoned legislator and a qualified financial expert appeals directly to the elite in Ogun East and the progressive elements in Ogun Central. He is not just the Ogun West candidate; he is the candidate of competence and political gravity, which is why his support base is truly cross-cutting. In Ogun West constituency, people don’t just see Yayi as a politician; they see him as an empowerment agent. Whether it’s the market women, the youth benefiting from his scholarships, or the artisans who received start-up tools-his impact is felt. That is the grassroots support that no amount of political maneuvering can buy or stop. He is leading the people’s movement.

It is evidently clear that the opposing forces representing the status quo—the powerful elements that have benefited from the 49-year marginalization, aren’t relenting. But Adeola is not alone in this struggle. The unity and passion of his home base is the engine driving the entire campaign to break the 49-year jinx. His candidacy has effectively served as the focal point for all elements-traditional rulers, community leaders, youth groups, political factions within Ogun West who believe in the principles of power rotation and zoning. His is seen as the consensus aspiration of the entire district. Unlike past politicians who merely paid lip service to the region, Yayi has demonstrably invested in his constituency since transitioning from Lagos politics. His track record as the sitting Senator for Ogun West since 2023 includes massive empowerment programmes. At different times, he has facilitated large-scale empowerment schemes, such as the Oloja Yayi empowerment scheme for over 5,500 traders, providing grants and agricultural empowerment for thousands of farmers in areas like Ilaro. His infrastructural projects include commissioning of schools, healthcare centers, and rural roads, proving that he can attract federal projects and development funds to the previously marginalized zone.


In Ogun West, there are no political factions when it comes to Yayi’s governorship. His aspiration is the unifying force that has brought every community, every chief, and every youth group under one banner. He symbolizes the only vehicle people can trust to break the 49-year jinx. They view every vote for Yayi as a vote for the liberation and collective dignity of the Yewa/Awori people.

Beyond Ogun West, Yayi’s victory is predicated on his ability to convince the political elite in Ogun Central and Ogun East that equity for Ogun West is not a zero-sum game. His team is actively building bridges by campaigning on competence, not just correction. The message is clear: ‘We seek justice for the West, but we guarantee prosperity for all of Ogun State.’ That strategic outreach is the key to ensuring an easy sail to the Government House. It is worth noting that Adeola has established long-standing friendship and professional relationship with key political and business figures from the Egba axis, demonstrating that he is a familiar and trusted face.The most critical bridge is through the royal fathers. He has cultivated the public blessing and non-partisan support of major traditional rulers across the three zones. Evidence of his private and public consultations with Obas in all the three districts abounds, showing respect for traditional authority and seeking their counsel and blessing. His goodwill cuts across party lines due to his tenure as a high-ranking legislator. He can leverage his strong personal ties with key leaders and elders from the Egba zone in both the ruling party and the opposition to secure tacit, non-public endorsements, or at least a pledge of non-interference based on personal loyalty and mutual respect built over decades.

You will be shocked that na dis same Egbas and Ijebus will vote massively for him!

PA to Tinubu and Yayi, how you dey

I don't know about other regions I. Ogun state oo, but you see the Ogun central, it's the people that can tell president Tinubu what they want to do, not that president can tell them what to do. If their opinions merged, that's a different scenario

For this same Ogun state….

The capital wey Obasanjo use backdoor give una Dey make una sef feel superfly….

What did you central people do when Tinubu and Osoba imposed a Remo son on you in 2019….

Ogun central suddenly want to act like Dapo had their support in 2019….

You in particular opposed Dapo candidacy in 2019 because you were pro-Amosun…. This was exactly how you were boasting then.

No Dey whine me
