The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, Solomon Adeola, told his supporters to suspend discussion on the 2027 governorship race in Ogun State.
Adeola, who is popularly known as “Yayi” stated this in a chat with journalists shortly after an annual New Year thanksgiving service held at the Unity Cathedral of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ogun Province Seven in Ilaro on Friday.
The lawmaker said he was currently preoccupied with the idea of delivering on his campaign promises to the people of his senatorial district.
He stressed that the future would determine his next political move.
The senator has been mentioned in several quarters as one of the politicians eyeing the Ogun State’s number one political office in 2027.
Adeola said: “I don’t think it is time to talk about governorship ambition now; we are still involved in trying to bring back the dividends of democracy to the people as senator elected for Ogun-West.
“What we are here to do today is to appreciate the Almighty God for his support in the past years and to also celebrate the New Year with my people for their support and cooperation.
“So in the future, we can start talking about that when the time is ripe to know if I am going forward or I am staying where I am; the future will determine all of that.”
The senator described 2024 as a very fantastic year with all the developmental projects and empowerment programmes he facilitated for the district.
He assured the people of the district of a more rewarding and responsive leadership in the new year.
“2025 will be another exciting year. Our people should be expecting good things as far as my representation in the Senate is concerned in terms of development projects.
“They should expect more empowerment and contributions to national issues on the floor of the senate so that we can build a virile and much more prosperous country,” he said.
