The Converner of the group, A former lawmaker, Hon.Leye Odunjo, disclosed the group’s clarion call on Tuesday at a Press conference held at Nuj Secretariat hall, Iwe- Irohin, Abeokuta .
Hon. Odunjo appealed to every meaning residents of the State, to support Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi to emerge as the Ogun State Governor come 2027, so as to justify the good works Sen. Adeola has been doing in the State and as well for equity, fairness and justice.
He added “Our group has come together and x-rayed various good quality hands that have shown interest to be governor from the zone, and agreed that the support for Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly called Yayi will be at the best interest of the Zone and the State in general”.
Odunjo stated that Yewa Awori zone in the Ogun West Senatorial District is yet to speak with one voice due to fragmented leadership, personal ambitions and the absence of a common front.
“As 2027 draws near, Yewa Awori stands at a defining moment in its political journey. The ambition to produce the Governor of Ogun State is valid, heartfelt, and long overdue. But there comes a time in every struggle when wisdom must take the front seat, and emotion must yield to strategy.
This is one of those times. We must be honest with ourselves: despite our rich history, educated elite, and clear demographic strength, Yewa Awori has yet to speak with one voice. Fragmented leadership, personal ambitions, and the absence of a common front have made it difficult to build the kind of political momentum required to win the governorship.
“Our inability to consolidate support – even among ourselves has become our greatest weakness.
“The Visionaries a Socio Political Organisation that cut across Ogun State therefore demand that Ogun West produce the next governor of the State come 2027”.
Speaking further, Hon.Odunjo said”It is lamentable that the District is the only district that has not produced a governor for the state since its creation in 1976.
“Therefore, in the 2027 governorship election, we say this is the time to speak with one voice for the purpose of equity, fairness and justice, the time has come for Yewa Awori and Ogun West to present the next Governor of Ogun State.
“As a matter of fact, The sobriquets have been, Yewa Awori has nobody to present as a credible governorship material, but we thank God today that the time has evolved, we have quality and well grounded individuals who have the wherewithal to govern Our dear State.
“For almost Five decades now, the Yewa Awori people are the most marginalized ethnic group in Ogun State in the area of employment, appointment, project execution until recently when Senator Olamilekan Adeola came to Our rescue and started changing the narratives. There was a paradigm shift in his quality representation
As a Senator representing the district, we have felt his presence in all facets of Our people, not only in Yewa Awori Zone, but throughout the entire State.
Worthy of note and encomium is the institutionalization of this agenda in the area of appointments (both civil service and political), allocation and execution of projects. This is why Yewa Awori people will continue to be grateful to Senator Adeola
“Also, in the health sector, we are glad with the various interventions and construction work at various health centers, the rehabilitation and construction of township roads in all the Five local governments in the district and even across the State is no doubt a step in the right direction.
“Since 1976, Yewa Awori is lacking behind as it is the only Area in the State without a federal University, but we thank God for the doggedness and good representation of Our darling Senator for his role in the upgrade of Federal Polytechnic Ilaro to a full fledged University of Technology.
“This is why we’re appealing to every meaning residents of the State, to support Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi to emerge as the Ogun State Governor come 2027 to justify the good works he is doing in the State and for equity, fairness and justice.
“At this Juncture, the Visionaries thanked his Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the support he had been given Our Son, Senator Yayi and for his passion in transforming the Country. It’s Our prayer that Almighty Allah will continue to bestow on him good health and more wisdom as he navigates the country to the promised land.
“We also appreciate our Governor, his Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun CFR, he has been a good leader and a performing Governor who has given hope to Yewa Awori district of Ogun State in terms of projects distribution and execution. Thanks Your Excellency.
For the equity , fairness and justice to be institutionalized for even posterity sake, the next Gubernatorial Candidate should be Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi as APC governorship candidate. By so doing, we have right the wrongs that have been metted on the zone that lays the golden egg since the creation of Ogun State decades ago.
“We believe that his emergence as governor will truly transform the State and consolidate on the gains of past governors that have administered the State.
“He is a man with a clear vision, dedication, and focus to effectively manage the state’s economic potential and natural resources if given the mandate. Yayi’s leadership qualities and extensive knowledge of the political landscape, highlighting his ability to bring positive change to Ogun State is unparalleled.
Yayi’s selflessness, care for others, and commitment to the State as outlined in his various empowerments and attention to various interests for overall development, and the provision of social and infrastructural amenities throughout the Ogun West Senatorial District and the State, we therefore urged the public to invest in Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi leadership to emerge as the flag bearer of APC in the 2027 elections, and subsequently succeed his Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun and promote agricultural prosperity, economic growth, foreign investments, and industrial expansion in Ogun State”
Present at the event were some leaders and members of All Progressives Congress,APC and non party members across the 20 Local Governments of the state.

React To Your Donation Rumour Of SUV Car Meant For Monarchs To Individual, Group Tells Ogun Women Affairs Commissioner
React To Your Donation Rumour Of SUV Car Meant For Monarchs To Individual, Group Tells Ogun Women Affairs Commissioner
In what it described as rumour, a concerned group under the aegis of ‘The Good People of Agbado Community’ has called on the Ogun state Commissioner for women affairs and social welfare, Hon. Adijat Motunrayo-Adeleye to react to the alleged SUV car meant for traditional rulers, been donated to one Mr. Oladayo Shyllon in the community.
The group, in a statement issued on Friday by the Chairman, Elder’s Council of the group, Amodu Theophilus Olayiwola JP tittled ‘SUV Allocation to Mr Oladayo Shyllon (An Error Awaiting Correction) described the development as imposition of the said person, who has been removed as an Oba by a court of competent jurisdiction, to deprive the respected obas of their rights.
You will recall that, on the 9th of April, the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun distributed 40 SUV Cars to ogun monarchs to enhance their mobility in a show of appreciation of support given to his administration.
It recalled that, It is on record that Mr. Shyllon filed an appeal which is still pending in the court of appeal Ibadan Suit No. CA/IB/75/2000, noting that, the last Ogun State chieftaincy law recognized only Olu of Agbado, and Alagbado of Agbado is not known to Agbado people and not recognized by government gazette.
The group however, threaten to work against the commissioner in her interest to contest for House of Representatives for Ifo/Ewekoro Federal constituency.
“It is my believe that Ogun state is not an animal kingdom where people just act out their personal desire with disregard for the rule of law and the judicial system, Olayiwola stated”.
“It is important you make categorical and clear statement to the people so we do not begin to see you as an enemy of the people and equitable justice”, he added.
“We know our vote is our power, if you don’t respond to this damaging allegation, we shall surely mobilize against you as the race to 2027 heats up”, he threatened.
Reacting to the development, the commissioner denied and distanced herself from the allegation, and challenged the group to do their findings and act on any outcome, pointing out that, she is not the state governor the at distributed cars to buy he monarchs.
According to her “I’m not Ogun state government, and if they have any issue, they should direct it to the government. They are just shallow minded. I didn’t donate any car to anyone, they should go and get their fact right, because i don’t know what they are talking about

A GOVERNOR AMONG THE PEOPLE: HOW MOHAMMED UMARU BAGO IS REDEFINING POWER, UNITY, AND GRASSROOTS GOVERNANCE IN NIGER STATE
A GOVERNOR AMONG THE PEOPLE: HOW MOHAMMED UMARU BAGO IS REDEFINING POWER, UNITY, AND GRASSROOTS GOVERNANCE IN NIGER STATE
Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago is steadily rewriting the playbook of leadership in Niger State, anchoring governance not in distance or elitism, but in proximity, inclusion, and direct engagement with the people.
His administration has reinvigorated traditional institutions by consistently engaging emirates and royal fathers as active partners in governance. Beyond symbolism, these engagements reflect a participatory model rooted in cultural legitimacy and community trust.
Security remains central to his agenda. Regular high-level meetings—bringing together security agencies, traditional rulers, and key stakeholders—serve as operational platforms for coordination and response. Backed by funding and follow-through, this collaborative approach underscores his belief that unity is essential to achieving lasting peace.
In a politically and socially diverse state, Governor Bago has projected a bridge-building leadership style. He has repeatedly emphasized that religion must not be exploited as a tool for division or an excuse for failure. By maintaining visible engagement with both Muslim and Christian communities, his administration promotes inclusion and mutual respect.
His grassroots approach to governance is one of his defining traits. Within a relatively short period, he has visited all 25 Local Government Areas—more than once—taking governance directly to communities. These visits go beyond routine inspections; they involve listening, resolving immediate concerns, and maintaining a physical presence. From crossing rivers by ferry to reach remote areas like Agwara to spending extended time in rural communities, he has narrowed the gap between leadership and citizens.
Politically, he has prioritized cohesion over factionalism. His engagement spans national figures to ward-level stakeholders, reflecting an inclusive style. His support for women in governance is evident in the emergence of female vice chairpersons across the 25 LGAs, while his outreach to past and present leaders signals continuity and respect for institutional memory. His appointments, often extending beyond close allies, reinforce a broader message of collective ownership of governance within the All Progressives Congress.
Beyond policy, Governor Bago’s leadership carries a personal dimension. He is widely noted for acts of compassion—supporting families in times of need, assisting with medical and educational challenges, and offering help without publicity. These gestures, though often undocumented, have strengthened his connection with the people.
Today, on both national and international platforms, Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago is increasingly recognized for his emphasis on accessibility, performance, and peacebuilding. His approach reinforces a simple but powerful idea: leadership should connect, not isolate.
In a country where citizens continue to demand responsive governance, his model offers a perspective worth noting—one that places engagement, service, and unity at the center of public leadership.
