 The Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance and senator-elect for Ogun West Senatorial district, Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi has debunked fake news spreading on social media that President-Elect, Bola Tinubu is against the re-election of Prince Dapo Abiodun as governor of Ogun state saying that the President- Elect is fully behind Prince Abiodun and all candidates of APC for the now postponed Governorship and House of Assembly election.

 Senator Yayi presented his Certificate of Return to the people The Ogun West senator-elect spoke at a stakeholder’s engagement campaign for Governor Abiodun for Ogun West at Ijamido Hall, Ota shortly after his arrival from Abuja for his collection of Certificate of Return for Member of the incoming 10th Senate of the National Assembly.

 “I arrived from Abuja and came straight to this meeting to present to you my certificate of return for my overwhelming victory through your votes and Almighty God. It is an unprecedented victory with winning votes that doubled that of the last election in 2019 and the feat of legitimately moving from Lagos West to my home base, Ogun West. I am grateful for your support and enthusiasm for me to represent you. I will not take your support for granted” Senator Adeola stated.

 The mammoth crowd at the event The chairman of Senate Committee on Finance however stated that the victory for him and the President -Elect Senator Tinubu in Ogun State is not complete until the re-election of Prince Abiodun as Governor of APC and all members of the State House of Assembly of APC stressing that a fake news being spread on social media about Tinubu being against Prince Abiodun’s re-election in favour of another party’s candidate from Ogun West is the machination of desperate politicians who already foresaw their crushing defeat at the Governorship and House of Assembly election. 

 “Let me assure you that our party, the APC and the President-Elect, Senator Bola Tinubu are fully committed to ensuring that all the party’s governorship and Assembly candidates are returned elected without exception.
