The All Progressives Congress (APC) Consensus Governorship Candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi), has paid a courtesy visit to Senator (Prof.) Iyabo Obasanjo Bello at her residence in Abeokuta, in a move seen as strengthening party unity ahead of the 2027 elections.

“I am here to thank my sister and to assure her that we will work together. I am ready to align with her vision and ensure that, collectively, we take Ogun State to the next level,” he said.
He further pledged to integrate her ideas and policy contributions into his agenda, stressing that no individual or group would be sidelined.
The visit ended on a note of unity and renewed collaboration, with Senator Adeola reaffirming his commitment to inclusive leadership and sustained engagement with party members and stakeholders across the state.
