Sen. Solomon Adeola, the APC gubernatorial candidate in Ogun State, accused opposition politicians of seeking personal financial gain from the state treasury rather than focusing on public service. The accusation came after a former APC gubernatorial aspirant claimed Adeola failed to reimburse campaign expenses. Adeola called the demands insulting, suggesting the former contestant joined the race expecting financial rewards rather than genuine commitment to Ogun's development. He stated that the individual later defected to the PDP and criticized their motives as self-serving. Adeola also dismissed a legal challenge against his candidacy, attributing it to political opponents, and questioned the eligibility of defectors and the PDP's legal standing. Local market leaders supported Adeola, praising his developmental initiatives.

Senator Solomon Adeola, the APC governorship candidate in Ogun State, has accused former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo of seeking reimbursement for campaign expenses after she defected to the PDP. Adeola claims Obasanjo's exit from APC was motivated by personal gain and criticized her for allegedly failing to fulfill commitments. He argues that some politicians prioritize personal interests over public service and questions the legitimacy of Obasanjo's candidacy.

Kayode Oladele, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, claims that the APC is gaining members and structures from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other opposition parties ahead of the 2027 governorship election. He attributes this shift to the efforts of APC gubernatorial candidate Senator Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, who is reportedly engaging with political leaders, community stakeholders, and grassroots organizers across the state. Oladele suggests that these developments indicate a broader political realignment, with Adeola's outreach helping to build trust and foster new alliances. He notes that Adeola's influence spans multiple regions within Ogun State, making it harder for opponents to frame his candidacy as regional rather than statewide.
Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the political realignment as a positive development driven by the APC's strategic outreach and engagement, which is portrayed as effective and forward-looking. The emphasis on the APC's growth at the expense of the PDP and other opposition parties suggests a pro-APC perspective. T
