The Arewa Community in Ogun State has declared its support for the governorship aspiration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.

The group pledged to mobilise support across the state’s 20 local government areas ahead of the 2027 election.

The endorsement was announced during a consultative and interactive meeting held on July 14, 2026, at Adeola’s constituency office in Ilaro, Ogun State.

The Arewa leaders declared their readiness to embark on a door-to-door sensitisation campaign ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.

Speaking on behalf of the delegation, the Director-General of the Southwest Arewa Community, Alhaji Shehu Usman, described Adeola as a detribalised Nigerian and a deeply transformative and progressive leader dedicated to prioritising the welfare of the people at all times.

Also speaking at the occasion, the Senior Special Assistant on Inter-Ethnic Affairs and Coordinator of Arewa Door-to-Door for Adeola, Hadi Sani, noted that the Hausa community had found in Senator Adeola Yayi the right man to consolidate the gains of the Dapo Abiodun administration, in the area of peaceful co-existence and inter-ethnic relations.

He further disclosed that the community has decided to brand 10 buses for the senator’s campaign and will go door-to-door to canvass support for “the people’s senator.”

Senator Adeola, who represents Ogun West, has in recent weeks intensified consultations with various interest groups and traditional institutions across the state as part of efforts to build a broad-based coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.

He was declared the consensus gubernatorial candidate of the APC in Ogun State following endorsements from party stakeholders across the three senatorial districts.
