The Ogun State All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has said the late veteran actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, would have been appointed as his Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture if he emerged governor in the 2027 election.

Yayi disclosed this during a Tuesday condolence visit to the family of the late actor in Ilaro, Ogun State.

The senator described Ogogo as an elder brother and praised his contributions to acting, culture and the preservation of Yoruba heritage.

Yayi said he had already planned to make Ogogo a member of his cabinet because of his experience and knowledge of the state’s cultural heritage.

He said, “I told God that if it is destined for me to be governor, my elder brother Ogogo will be my Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture. My plan was he will be a Special Adviser that is a cabinet member. I kept it on my chest; I was walking with it I believed God will do.
