A member of the Ogun State House of Assembly representing Ipokia/Idiroko Constituency, Hon. Bisi Oyedele, has declared that political leaders and stakeholders in Ogun West Senatorial District are now united and determined to deliver the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, in the 2027 general elections.

Oyedele made the declaration while appearing on The Arena, a podcast programme based in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

He said political actors in the district had learnt from past divisions that weakened their political influence and limited their development prospects.

According to him, Ogun West has moved beyond its previous political disagreements and is now prepared to work collectively towards the victory of Adeola and other APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.

“Ogun West now wiser. Ogun West nomenclature has changed. Ogun West is indivisible; we are now united,” he said, adding that the district had delivered all its candidates in the 2023 elections.

The lawmaker expressed confidence that the zone would replicate its previous electoral performance in 2027, declaring that its political stakeholders were committed to ensuring Adeola's emergence as the next governor of Ogun State.

Oyedele also dismissed controversies surrounding Adeola's candidacy, describing them as distractions and insisting that the APC candidate enjoyed significant support across the state.

“Forget about distractions, he is our governorship candidate. People have made up their minds to vote for him and APC,” he stated.

On the performance of the 10th Ogun State House of Assembly, Oyedele rejected claims by an opposition candidate that the legislature had been dormant, describing the allegation as a product of opposition politics.

He maintained that the Assembly was neither inactive nor a rubber-stamp legislature, arguing that members had made significant efforts to strengthen their capacity to deliver constituency projects and improve representation.

“We are not dormant. The statement is from a mentality of someone in opposition. He won't see good things from us. We are not a rubber-stamp Assembly; we have pushed for more constituency allowances and have it,” he said.

The lawmaker, however, acknowledged that the legislature's independence was not absolute, insisting that it was not simply an institution that acted on instructions from the executive.

Highlighting his achievements in Ipokia Local Government, Oyedele said his interventions included helping to prevent clashes between Customs officers and residents, youth empowerment initiatives and the sinking of 11 boreholes to improve access to water.

He expressed optimism about his re-election prospects, saying his constituents stood to benefit more if he returned to the Assembly for a second term.

According to him, a second term would provide opportunities to head more influential committees and secure additional benefits for the people of his constituency.
