No Rift Between Me, Gov. Abiodun, Senator Yayi Dismisses Claims of Planned Probe of Ogun Government
ABEOKUTA – The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, has dismissed reports of a rift between him and Governor Dapo Abiodun, describing claims that he intends to probe the governor’s administration as false and fabricated.
Adeola, who represents Ogun West Senatorial District, said there was no disagreement between him and the governor, accusing opposition elements of sponsoring misleading reports to create disaffection within the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The senator’s position was contained in a statement issued on Monday by his Media Adviser and Chairman of the APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation’s Media and Publicity Committee, Chief Kayode Odunaro.
The statement specifically dismissed a report titled, “Yayi Fires Fresh Salvos at Dapo Abiodun, Labels Ogun Government ‘Lazy, Clueless’ – Vows to Probe SSG Talabi,” describing it as a concoction without any factual basis.
It said the report was allegedly linked to Adeola’s stakeholders’ town hall meeting held in Ijebu-Ode over the weekend.
According to the statement, Adeola has consistently commended Abiodun for laying a solid foundation for Ogun State’s economic growth and prosperity during his seven-and-a-half years in office.
It added that the senator’s proposed nine-pillar ITESIWAJU agenda was designed to consolidate on the achievements of the incumbent administration while introducing additional initiatives to accelerate development across the state.
The statement further noted that Adeola had repeatedly described his project facilitation efforts as complementary to the developmental projects being executed by Abiodun, stressing that both leaders belong to the APC.
It accused opposition elements of repeatedly attempting to create discord between the two politicians, saying previous efforts before the APC governorship primary failed.
“The repeated devilish attempts to create discord between Senator Adeola and the governor and, by extension, APC, started before the primaries and failed woefully,” the statement said.
It added that the latest allegations were part of attempts by frustrated opposition elements to undermine the APC’s prospects ahead of the 2027 elections.
Adeola, according to the statement, would continue to promote the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Governor Abiodun’s ISEYA development agenda, upon which he intends to build his ITESIWAJU programme.
The senator also reaffirmed his commitment to facilitating more projects across Ogun State to complement those delivered and ongoing under Abiodun’s administration until May 29, 2027.
He further pledged to continue campaigning for all APC candidates, insisting that attempts to create division within the party through what he described as falsehood and blackmail would not derail its political ambitions.
