Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, has promised to provide 24-hour electricity supply in Abeokuta if elected governor in the 2027 governorship election.
Adeola made the promise on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during a stakeholders’ engagement meeting in Abeokuta South Local Government Area, where he outlined some of his proposed development priorities for the state capital.
The senator said his administration would collaborate with relevant agencies to achieve stable and uninterrupted electricity, stressing that Abeokuta deserved reliable power supply to support businesses, attract investors and improve residents’ living conditions.
Yayi Outlines Infrastructure Development Plans
Speaking at the meeting, Solomon Adeola described electricity as one of his major priorities, adding that he would not wait for the Federal Government before exploring solutions to the power challenges facing the state capital.
He also promised to construct additional roads and educational facilities in Abeokuta South, including a block of 12 classrooms each at Nawarudeen High School and Anglican High School, Quarry.
Other proposed projects include road construction and rehabilitation, a hospital building and the second phase of the Panseke Ultra-Modern Market.
Solomon Adeola further disclosed that the proposed projects would commence within two weeks, while assuring residents that their development needs would be incorporated into his manifesto and economic blueprint.
Stakeholders’ Recommendations to Shape Proposed Administration
The APC governorship candidate explained that his ongoing consultations across Ogun State’s 20 local government areas were designed to obtain direct contributions from community leaders, traditional rulers, professional groups and other stakeholders.
He maintained that the recommendations gathered during the engagements would guide his proposed development agenda if elected.
According to reports, Solomon Adeola had visited several local government areas as part of the consultation exercise, with Abeokuta South among the councils where stakeholders presented their infrastructure and development concerns.
He also urged residents to support APC candidates in the 2027 elections and called for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election. Yayi’s 24-hour electricity promise has added power supply to the major issues being discussed ahead of the 2027 Ogun governorship election. However, residents will be looking for further details on the proposed funding, infrastructure and implementation strategy required to achieve uninterrupted electricity in Abeokuta. Whether the promise becomes reality will depend on the policies, resources and practical steps taken if he eventually assumes office.
