Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, on Monday paid a visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos, where he expressed gratitude for the Federal Government’s support for major development projects in Ogun State.
The senator, who is seeking the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket in Ogun State ahead of the 2027 elections, said he stepped away from his ongoing mobilisation and consultations for his candidacy and other APC candidates to meet the president shortly after Tinubu’s return from vacation.
In a Facebook post detailing the meeting, Adeola noted that the discussions covered issues relating to Ogun State as well as broader matters of national interest tied to the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He specifically thanked the president for backing the proposed Gateway Deep Seaport and the Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone, projects linked to a $7 billion memorandum of understanding.
“I took away sometime from my mobilization and consultation for my candidacy for Governor of Ogun State and all other candidates of APC to visit our dear president, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, C-in-C of the Armed Forces of Nigeria since his return from vacation,” Adeola wrote.
He added: “I used the occasion to personally appreciate his support for Ogun State in the MOU of $7billion for Gateway Deep Seaport and Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone as well as other matters of National Interest relating to ongoing implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Adeola, who represents Ogun West Senatorial District, expressed optimism about Nigeria’s prospects under the current administration, stating that the APC’s reform agenda has laid a solid foundation for growth and prosperity.
Also present at the meeting were the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
