The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2027 election in Ogun State, Olamilekan Adeola, popularly called Yayi, has pledged to prioritise the development of Egbaland, particularly Abeokuta, the state capital, if elected governor.

Adeola also promised to execute infrastructure projects aimed at stimulating socio-economic development across the Ogun Central Senatorial District.

He made the pledge on Saturday during a visit to the palace of the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo.

Adeola, who was formally presented to the monarch by his maternal kinsmen from Kemta Odusolu Township in Abeokuta, said he had facilitated several development projects across the six local government areas in Ogun Central despite representing Ogun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
