  • Single-digit micro-credit and market infrastructure for traders and artisans.
  • A youth employment compact tied to the state's industrial clusters.

The Momentum Behind YAYI

A movement built across party structures, traditional institutions and communities, as reported in the national press.

APC Consensus Candidate

Announced by Governor Dapo Abiodun at a statewide caucus attended by former governors Osoba, Amosun and Daniel.

Affirmed at the Primary

Emerged as the party's flagbearer at a primary described by the Governor as peaceful, transparent and orderly.

Ijebu Traditional Council

Unanimously backed by the Ijebu Obas, honouring the late Awujale's publicly declared preference at Ojude Oba 2024.

Received by Obasanjo

Hosted at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, with counsel to reach every voter regardless of party.

The Equity Question

Ogun West remains the only senatorial district yet to produce an elected governor. 2027 is the chance to complete Ogun's story.

All Three Districts

Support groups and stakeholders across Ogun East, Central and West. One movement, moving forward together.
