Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Ogun State, denied that the infrastructure projects he has championed across the state’s three senatorial districts were driven by political ambition. Speaking to residents and stakeholders in Odogbolu Local Government Area, he said the initiatives were carried out to complement the efforts of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration and to promote even socioeconomic development.
Adeola, who has represented Ogun West in the Senate for the past three and a half years, said he will continue to deliver projects that address the needs of the people. He pledged to keep working on development under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda until the end of his Senate term on 29 May 2027.

During the town‑hall meeting, Adeola urged voters to support the APC slate, including Governor Dapo Abiodun as senator for Ogun East and other party candidates. He highlighted the credentials of his running mate, Mrs Kudirat Abiodun Adegunwa‑Balogun, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants who runs a private sector organisation that employs over 10,000 staff.
“My deputy, who is your daughter, is going to be active in the implementation of my 9‑Pillar ITESIWAJU Agenda for the development of Ogun State. Her pedigree of running a successful private sector organisation that is still ongoing is a plus for our plans in the areas of job creation, industrialisation and wealth creation,” the senator said.
Traditional leaders and local officials also weighed in. Oba Sikiru Kayode Okuribido, the Dagburewe of Idowa, praised the senator’s achievements, saying the projects delivered were comparable to those paraded by some state governors. Chairman Babatunde Diya thanked Adeola for five multi‑million naira projects and the installation of twelve 500 kVA transformers in the LGA, declaring his support for the senator and his running mate.
The meeting was attended by a broad cross‑section of community groups, including the Christian Association of Nigeria, the League of Imams and Alfas, the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, the Nigeria Union of Teachers, road transport unions, market women’s associations, royal fathers and the Council of Baales. It also hosted senior APC officials such as Chief Yemi Sanusi, Senator Lekan Mustapha and Apostle Abiodun Sanyaolu, among others.
