Moving the motion, Chief Muri Awolaja, an apex APC leader from Sagamu Local Government Area, praised Dapo Abiodun as a true son of Remoland who has shown strong leadership capacity and commitment to development.
According to him, the governor is eminently qualified to represent Ogun East Senatorial District at the National Assembly based on his track record in office.
The motion was seconded by a former Chairman of Remo North Local Government Area, Dapo Odunsi, who agreed that the district would benefit from Abiodun’s experience at the Senate.
Adding their voices, council chairmen in the zone, Hon. Muyiwa Sodade of Remo North and Hon. Jamiu Asimi of Ikenne Local Government Area, urged the governor to accept the call.
“We are close to the grassroots, and we can confidently say the people of Remoland and Ogun East want you to represent them in the Senate from 2027. This is our way of appreciating the good work you have done as governor,” Asimi said.
The formal endorsement was later confirmed by a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), Chief Kola Ogunjobi, in the presence of top APC leaders in Ogun East.
Those present at the meeting included the Ogun East APC Chairman, Chief Adeleke Adedoyin; apex leader Otunba Dapo Osho; Commissioner for Environment Hon. Ola Oresanya; Special Adviser on Women Affairs Mrs Ayotunde Lawal; SUBEB Chairman Hon. Olalekan Ifede; Special Adviser on Political Matters Apagun Biyi Adeleye; and several other party stakeholders.
