ADC collapses structure for Senator Adeola in Ogun East

The political structure of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ogun East Senatorial District has agreed to work for the victory of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, in the next general election.

The chairmen and members of the party collapsed the structure, saying they are tired of playing opposition politics with nothing to show for it, over three electoral rounds.

Speaking over the weekend during an ongoing interactive session with various groups desirous of working with the APC governorship candidate, Dr Erinle Opeoluwa, the ADC chairman for Ijebu North East and chairman of all ADC chairmen in Ogun State, said that the chairmen from ADC have decided to pitch their tents with Senator Adeola, stressing that most of them have been made poorer playing opposition politics in Ogun State.

He said they have analysed the circumstances of the race towards Ogun 2027 and came to the conclusion that it will not be right for an Ogun East candidate to succeed the incumbent from Ogun East, stressing that they are witnesses to the massive infrastructural development and empowerment that Senator Adeola has attracted to the state even without being the governor.

Other chairmen of the ADC and prominent members of the opposition party who were at the declaration session, with a promise for open and celebrated declaration during campaign, include Hon Kazeem Bolaji Adebanjo, Ijebu North LGA; Hon Dehinsilu Ayodele Olusegun, Ikenne LGA; Hon Gbade A Oluwasegun, Ijebu Ode; Hon Shittu Rasaq Titilola, Ijebu East LGA; Omooba Hassan Kazeem, Sagamu LGA; Prince Adegoroye Osubukola, Remo North LGA; Alhaji Salisu Abdulwaheed, Odogbolu LGA; and Hon Ibidunni Fatai Adetola and Hon Yemi Macauley, both chieftains of ADC from Ijebu Ode.

Hon Macauley said they were further motivated to join Senator Adeola in his governorship bid by their discovery that all their followers and party members were already with Senator Adeola through various support groups and are unwilling to withdraw their support for Senator Yayi.

Other groups that pledged their support during the interactive sessions are the leadership of Market Men and Women of Remoland, led by the Iya Oloja General of Remoland, Chief (Mrs) Olasonde Oduwaiye; Miraculous Movement for Yayi; PDP members from Abeokuta North LGA; and OGD Coordinators from Ogun East Senatorial District.

Addressing all the groups individually after their declaration of support, Senator Adeola assured them of being included in his campaign structure, adding that his policy of inclusion does not discriminate against any Ogun State indigene who joins him in the race for Ogun 2027.

“I want to assure you all that you have made the right decision to join me in this race to make Ogun State better and a model from 2027. You are not joining to work for me but work with me in making our state a better place. I promise you that you will not regret your action and I will not take you for granted,” he stated.
