Entrepreneur, philanthropist and Chief Executive Officer of Alanquadri Investment Nigeria Limited, Chief Adeboye Quadri Amodemaja, has rallied support for Senator Olamilekan Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, declaring him as his preferred candidate for the 2027 Ogun State governorship election.

Amodemaja, who spoke with newsmen at the weekend, said Adeola’s experience in public service, financial expertise and grassroots connections made him suitable to govern the state, describing the senator representing Ogun West, as a leader with the capacity to consolidate the achievements of the current administration and promote development across the state.

According to him, “Governance is serious business and requires financial discipline, strategic vision and accountability. These are qualities Senator Adeola has demonstrated over the years.”

Amodemaja also cited Adeola’s political experience in Lagos and Ogun states, saying it had given him a strong understanding of the political and developmental needs of the state.

He said the senator’s legislative experience and interventions in Ogun West had further demonstrated his capacity to deliver on his responsibilities.

Amodemaja urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other stakeholders in the state to support Adeola’s ambition ahead of the 2027 election.

He said, “I believe Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi has what it takes to lead Ogun State and build on the progress already recorded. I am confident that he will provide purposeful leadership for the people.”

He added that Adeola’s emergence as governor would provide an opportunity to strengthen economic growth, infrastructure and human capital development in the state.
