Written by Mary Bassey

The Ogun State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has promised to ensure 24-hour electricity supply in Abeokuta if elected governor in the 2027 governorship election.

Adeola made the pledge on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, while addressing political leaders and stakeholders from Abeokuta South Local Government Area during a community engagement meeting in the state capital.

The senator, who represents Ogun West Senatorial District, said his proposed administration would explore ways to provide stable and uninterrupted electricity without waiting for the Federal Government to address the state’s power challenges.

According to him, reliable electricity is essential to boosting businesses, encouraging investment and improving the standard of living of residents.

“The next thing in Abeokuta is to have 24 hours power supply. As your governor, this is the state capital, so I’m not going to wait for the Federal Government. We must do everything to ensure we have stable and regular power supply,” he said.

Adeola also highlighted some infrastructure projects he claimed to have facilitated in Abeokuta South, including road construction, the installation of solar-powered streetlights, transformers, boreholes and educational facilities.

He further disclosed plans for additional road construction, classroom projects, a hospital building and the second phase of the Panseke Ultra-Modern Market.

The APC governorship candidate said his proposed development agenda, tagged Itesiwaju, would incorporate the needs and priorities identified by residents during his consultations across Ogun State’s 20 local government areas.

He maintained that his administration would prioritise people-oriented projects if given the opportunity to govern the state in 2027.
