2027: Ogun Will Become National Model, Boot Party Governorship Candidate, Adenuga Assures

ABEOKUTA – The governorship candidate of the Boot Party in Ogun State for the 2027 general election, Engr. Adekunle Adenuga, has called for comprehensive research into the root causes of Nigeria’s challenges as a pathway to achieving lasting solutions and accelerating national development.

Adenuga made the call during his official unveiling as the party’s governorship candidates at the Boot Party Secretariat in the Keesi area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Expressing appreciation to the party leadership for entrusting him with the governorship ticket, Adenuga, who accepted the nomination amid cheers from party supporters, expressed confidence that the Boot Party would emerge victorious in the 2027 elections.

He stated that his ambition was not driven by a desire to criticise previous administrations but by a commitment to addressing the fundamental challenges confronting Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole.

According to him, Ogun State would serve as a pilot model for a broader national development agenda that could be replicated across the country.

Adenuga explained that the blueprint developed by his team aligns with national development objectives and is designed to provide practical and sustainable solutions to Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges.

He noted that the vision had been in development for over a decade and that the time had come to begin its implementation, starting with Ogun State.

The governorship candidate argued that Nigerians had repeatedly been presented with campaign promises centred on healthcare, education, infrastructure, and security without witnessing significant improvements, insisting that the Boot Party offers a different approach.

“I accept to be the flag bearer of this party. For over 16 years, I have been working seriously to find solutions to the problems confronting our society. We have carefully developed our plans and agenda, and today, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to present them, starting from Ogun State.

“I did not come to condemn anybody. I came to fix exactly what our problems are. We have a practical and structured plan that will address the issues facing our people.

“Our plan is for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but we are starting from Ogun State to set an example. Other states will begin to ask questions when they see the results.”

He further stated: “I don’t want to repeat what people have heard from other political parties. We continue to hear the same promises on healthcare, education, infrastructure, and security.”

Earlier in his remarks, the State Chairman of the Boot Party, Arch. Abiodun Akerele, pledged that the party would uphold transparency, accountability, obedience to the rule of law, and selfless service if elected into office, describing these principles as the foundation of the party’s ideology.

Akerele explained that the party operates under the motto, “Fiduciary, Obedience and Service,” stressing its commitment to the responsible management of public resources and strict adherence to constitutional provisions.

He noted that the Boot Party distinguishes itself through financial accountability and compliance with the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) requirement for political parties to submit annual financial reports detailing their income and expenditure.

The party chairman also emphasised the importance of adherence to both the party’s constitution and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, arguing that discipline, development, and good governance can only thrive where laws and regulations are respected.

“Our party gives a detailed account of every income and expenditure every year as required by INEC. Accountability is one of our core values, and when we are entrusted with public office, we will ensure that every resource given to us on behalf of the people is properly accounted for.

“Without obedience, there will be no discipline, no progress, and crime will thrive. In this party, our constitution is supreme, and every member is expected to obey the rules and regulations,” Akerele added.

Speaking on the party’s commitment to public service, he stated that the Boot Party was established to serve the people rather than pursue personal interests, assuring that elected officials under the party would prioritise the welfare and development of citizens.
