Ogun 2027: Reports Raise Questions Over Tinubu’s Backing for Yayi

Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, known as Yayi, is facing fresh scrutiny over his bid for the 2027 Ogun governorship election following unconfirmed reports of a disagreement involving President Bola Tinubu. Adeola was presented as the APC’s consensus choice for the Ogun governorship race after consultations involving party leaders. The move was framed as an effort to produce Ogun West’s first governor since the state was created. Political observers say controversies over Adeola’s ancestry claims, divisions among influential Ogun political figures and the PDP’s renewed mobilisation could complicate his prospects. Neither the Presidency nor Adeola’s media office had commented on the reported confrontation at the time of publication.
