The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State on Sunday unveiled Alhaja Kudirat Adegunwa-Balogun, a chartered accountant and daughter of renowned industrialist, Chief Adebola Adegunwa, as the deputy governorship candidate to partner Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, in the 2027 governorship election.

The announcement was made at the State APC Strategic Caucus Meeting held at the party secretariat in Iyana Mortuary, Abeokuta, where party leaders formally ratified her emergence following extensive consultations within the party hierarchy.

Adegunwa-Balogun’s nomination follows the earlier zoning of the deputy governorship slot to Ogun East Senatorial District and its subsequent micro-zoning to Ijebu Central Federal Constituency.
