The political space of the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, took a dramatic turn on Saturday, August 22, when a former governorship aspirant, Abayomi Semako Hunye, unveiled his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
Hunye, who is the immediate past Managing Director of the Ogun State Waste Management Authority, OGWAMA, announced Abayomi Odunowo as his deputy governorship candidate under the umbrella of the APC at a press conference, dismissing rumours that he had stepped down from the race.
Recall that the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, during a strategic caucus meeting attended by party leaders and stakeholders on April 13, announced Olamilekan Solomon Adeola as the consensus candidate of the party for the 2027 governorship election in the state.
The meeting was attended by all three former governors, Olusegun Osoba, Ibikunle Amosun and Gbenga Daniel, as well as APC governorship aspirants: Iyabo Obasanjo, Gboyega Isiaka, Tunde Lemo and Isiak Akinlade.
