Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Solomon Adeola, popularly called Yayi, on Tuesday, cautioned his teeming supporters against the erection of campaign billboards and posters seeking support for his 2027 governorship bid ahead of the appropriate time the ruling All Progressives Congress will set for the commencement of such political campaigns.
Senator Adeola made his position known in a statement on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media, Chief Kayode Odunaro.
The lawmaker, who expressed delight at the love demonstrated towards him by the people with their support and their belief in his ability, advised them to exercise caution because the process for full-blown campaigns and the timetable for the party’s primary have yet to be released.
The Ogun West Senator further stated that he has yet to declare his intention to contest for the Ogun governorship because he is still consulting while awaiting the ruling party’s timetable and guidelines for the 2027 elections.
His statement partly read, “The attention of Senator Solomon Adeola (APC, Ogun West) has been drawn to the erection of numerous campaign billboards and posters being erected and posted by supporters seeking support for his aspiration in the race towards Ogun State governorship in 2027.
“While appreciating their love and belief in his capacity to effectively hold the exalted position of governor, the senator called on his supporters to draw caution in their enthusiasm as the process for full blown campaign and timetable for the party’s primary is not out yet.
“I have been informed of the sighting of billboards and posters erected by supporters and groups in parts of the state soliciting support for my aspiration for Ogun 2027.
“As a loyal party man fully cognisant of the process and relevant tradition of the progressive family for the last 35 years, I am yet to declare my intention as I await the timetable of the party and other consultative processes.
“Supporters should act in tandem with my tested brand of grassroots politics grounded in due process and rules”.
Senator Adeola Yayi therefore appealed to his teeming supporters to remain faithful to his cause, advising that they should be guided by due process and extant rules of the game, especially regarding the erection of campaign billboards and posters.
The statement added, ”I appreciate the time and money expended by my supporters in my cause, and I pledge that their valuable support will not be taken for granted.”
