The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Daisi Elemide, has congratulated Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan on his emergence as the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus governorship candidate in Ogun State.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his media aide, Kunle Idowu, Rt. Hon. Elemide described Adeola’s emergence as a defining moment in the political history of the state, saying it signals a new era of inclusiveness, equity, and unity across the three senatorial districts.
The Speaker commended the leadership of the APC in the state for adopting a consensus approach, which he said reflects political maturity, internal cohesion, and a shared commitment to the progress of Ogun State.
He noted that Adeola’s candidacy represents a long-awaited breakthrough for Ogun West, stressing that the district has not produced a governor since the creation of Ogun State in 1976. According to him, the emergence of the senator, popularly known as Yayi, has finally “broken the jinx” and corrected what many have described as a long-standing political imbalance in the state’s leadership.
“This is not just a personal victory for Senator Adeola, but a collective triumph for the people of Ogun West and indeed all well-meaning citizens of Ogun State who believe in fairness and justice,” the Speaker said.
Elemide added that the development would further strengthen unity among the various regions of the state and deepen democratic culture within the ruling party.
He also praised Adeola’s track record in public service, describing him as a seasoned legislator with vast experience at both the state and national levels. He noted that the senator’s performance in the National Assembly has earned him widespread respect and positioned him as a credible leader capable of steering Ogun State toward greater development.
The Speaker expressed confidence that Adeola possesses the vision, competence, and political will required to consolidate on the achievements of the current administration and deliver more dividends of democracy to the people.
He urged APC members and the electorate at large to rally behind the consensus candidate, emphasizing the need for unity and collective effort ahead of the governorship election.
Elemide further assured that the Ogun State House of Assembly would continue to support policies and initiatives that promote good governance, irrespective of political considerations. He reiterated the legislature’s commitment to working collaboratively with the executive arm to ensure sustainable development and improved welfare for citizens.
The Speaker concluded by wishing Adeola success in the forthcoming electoral process, expressing optimism that his candidacy would usher in a new chapter of progress, inclusiveness, and balanced representation in Ogun State.
He also called on stakeholders across party lines to embrace peace, tolerance, and issue-based campaigns as the state prepares for another democratic transition
