The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as YAYI, has met with bishops of the Anglican Communion in Sagamu, where he outlined his vision for the state ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The meeting, held at the Bishop’s Court in Sagamu, provided an opportunity for the Anglican leaders to highlight their expectations from the next administration in the state.
The bishops raised issues including security, education, healthcare, skills development, empowerment, equitable distribution of infrastructure and development, good governance and the welfare of religious organisations.
In his welcome address, the Archbishop of the Lagos Ecclesiastical Province, Most Rev. Dr. Michael Olusina Fape, urged Adeola to uphold fairness and provide leadership for all residents regardless of their religious, ethnic or geographical backgrounds.
The bishops also called for greater attention to rural and remote communities, stressing that development should not be concentrated only in urban areas.
Responding to the concerns, Adeola assured the Anglican leaders that, if elected governor in 2027, he would work towards providing purposeful, inclusive and people-centred governance.
The APC candidate pointed to his record as a senator, including his representation and developmental interventions, as evidence of his experience and commitment to public service.
Adeola also presented his ITESIWAJU Agenda, which he said would serve as a framework for consolidating existing development efforts while creating more opportunities and improving the standard of living across Ogun State.
He expressed appreciation to the bishops for their prayers, counsel and warm reception, promising to promote religious harmony and maintain collaboration with faith-based organisations.
Adeola further assured the Anglican leaders that he would work to meet the expectations of residents and pledged that he would not disappoint the Christian community if entrusted with the leadership of the state.
