Senator Olamilekan Adeola, popular as Yayi, representing Ogun West Senatorial District, has warned his supporters to refrain from posting Campaign Billboards for his 2027 Ogun State Governorship ambition.
He said he is yet to declare his ambition, and stressed that he believes in due process. He urged his Supporters to respect his decision.
Yayi, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Media Adviser, Kayode Odunaro in Abeokuta, said his attention has been drawn to the proliferation of campaign materials in parts of the state by loyalists canvassing support for his possible candidacy.
While expressing appreciation for the show of support and confidence in his leadership capacity, Adeola cautioned that such actions were premature, and stressed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has yet to release its timetable for primaries and campaigns.
He said: “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″.
The Senator, however, clarified that he had not formally declared his intention to contest the governorship seat, noting that he remained committed to party processes and internal consultations.
“As a loyal party man, fully cognizant of the process and relevant traditions of the progressive family for over three decades, I am yet to declare my intention as I await the timetable of the party and ongoing consultations,” he stated.
Adeola urged his supporters to align with his longstanding political philosophy rooted in grassroots engagement, discipline, and strict adherence to due process.
“Supporters should act in tandem with my tested brand of grassroots politics, which is grounded in due process and respect for laid-down rules,” he added.
He call them to exercise restraint and patience, particularly regarding the timing of political campaigns and public displays of support.
“While I deeply appreciate the time, resources, and commitment of my supporters, I urge them to be guided by extant rules, especially as they relate to the appropriate timing for campaign activities such as billboards and posters,” he said.
He added that he valued their Support and would not take it for granted.
