Obasanjo Urges Ogun APC Governorship Candidate Adeola to Stay Focused on Development Agenda

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Solomon Adeola, to remain focused on delivering a development-driven agenda for the people of the state.

Obasanjo gave the advice while addressing the governorship hopeful, emphasizing the importance of prioritising policies and programmes that will improve the lives of Ogun residents if elected.

According to the former president, leadership should be centered on service, accountability, and sustainable development rather than political rivalry. He encouraged Adeola to maintain his focus on initiatives that promote economic growth, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and job creation.

Obasanjo stressed that the people of Ogun State expect practical solutions to their everyday challenges and called on political leaders to place the interests of citizens above personal or partisan considerations.

The elder statesman also highlighted the need for continuity in developmental efforts, noting that good governance requires long-term planning, transparency, and effective implementation of policies.

Responding to the remarks, Adeola expressed appreciation for the advice and reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing policies aimed at improving the welfare of Ogun residents and accelerating the state’s development.

The APC governorship candidate stated that his vision includes expanding infrastructure, strengthening the state’s economy, supporting businesses, improving educational opportunities, and enhancing healthcare delivery across Ogun State.

Obasanjo’s comments come as political activities continue to gather momentum ahead of the governorship election, with candidates intensifying consultations and engaging stakeholders across the state.

Political observers believe the former president’s advice underscores the growing emphasis on issue-based campaigns and development-focused governance as voters prepare to elect their next governor.
