⬆️R-L: Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI) and Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Senator Solomon Adeola( Yayi)
, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, has dismissed as fake news, reports circulating on social media that claim he attacked the performance of Governor Dapo Abiodun and planned to probe some of his officials.
In a press statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, Chief Kayode Odunaro, Media Adviser to Senator Adeola and Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee of the APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation in Ogun State, described the reports as a “concoction of desperate and failed opposition elements without any iota of truth.”
The statement said the false narrative was tied to one of Adeola’s stakeholders’ town hall meetings held in Ijebu Ode over the weekend. It specifically rejected a circulating headline that claimed “Yayi Fires Fresh Salvos at Dapo Abiodun, Labels Ogun Government ‘Lazy, Clueless’ – Vows to Probe SSG Talabi.”
According to the statement, Adeola has consistently praised the foundation laid by Governor Abiodun over the past seven and a half years for the economic growth and prosperity of Ogun State. The senator has stressed that his own “9-Pillars ITESIWAJU” agenda is designed to build on that foundation and introduce new initiatives.
Adeola has also repeatedly described projects he facilitated as complementary to the developmental projects of the governor, noting that both men belong to the ruling APC.
“The repeated devilish attempts to create discord between Senator Adeola and the governor and by extension, APC, started before the primaries and failed woefully,” the statement read. “Now that APC and all its candidates look set for victory, the frustrated opposition that can barely handle simple administrative duties are resorting to blackmail and falsehood of the incoming governor being at cross purpose with a man of history boldly implementing the first ever peaceful succession in Ogun State democratic history.”
The statement added that Adeola has no apologies for the opposition’s discomfort and will continue to highlight the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Governor Abiodun’s ISEYA accomplishments, upon which he is building his ITESIWAJU Agenda.
Adeola will continue to facilitate projects that complement those of the governor until May 29, 2027, and will keep campaigning for all APC candidates, the statement said. It concluded that “fake news merchants and their sponsors cannot stop a man loved by the people.”

PRESS RELEASE
*RE: FAKE NEWS OF RIFT BETWEEN GOV. ABIODUN AND SEN. ADEOLA.*
-Desperate opposition resorts to blackmail to stop APC winning train.
The attention of the media office of Senator Solomon Adeola(APC, Ogun West), the Ogun State APC Governorship candidate, has been drawn to a fake news being circulated on social media insinuating that Senator Adeola attacks the performance of Governor Dapo Abiodun in office and planning a probe of some of his officials
The unbelievable fake news was anchored on one of Senator Adeola’s successful Stakeholders Town Hall meetings at Ijebu Ode over the weekend.
For the avoidance of doubt and record purposes, the fake news titled “ Yayi Fires Fresh Salvos at Dapo Abiodun, Labels Ogun Government ’Lazy, Clueless’ -Vows to Probe SSG Talabi” is a concoction of desperate and failed opposition elements without any iota of truth and contraditory to Senator Adeola’s position in public domain.
At all stops of the Stakeholders Town Hall meetings, Senator Adeola is full of praises for the solid foundation laid by Prince Abiodun in the last 7 and half years for the economic growth and prosperity of Ogun State stressing always that his 9-Pillars ITESIWAJU agenda plans to build on the foundation and introduce new initiatives.
And hitherto, Senator Adeola has always referenced his projects facilitations as complementing the many developmental projects of the governor as they both belong to the ruling party of APC.
“ The repeated devilish attempts to create discord between Senator Adeola and the governor and by extension, APC, started before the primaries and failed woefully. Now that APC and all its candidates looks set for victory, the frustrated opposition that can barely handle simple administrative duties are resorting to blackmail and falsehood of the incoming governor being at cross purpose with a man of history boldly implementing the first ever peaceful succession in Ogun state democratic history” the statement reads.
For the opposition element in severe pains yet to get its docks in any sensible row, Senator Adeola have no apologies or sympathies regarding their discomfiture and gloom as he will continue to preach the achievements of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the accomplishments of ISEYA of Prince Abiodun upon which he is building his ITESIWAJU Agenda.
For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Adeola will continue to facilitate projects to complement those delivered and being delivered by Prince Abiodun till May 29, 2027 and will continue to campaign for the votes for all APC candidates. The fake news merchants and their sponsors cannot stop a man loved by the people.
