Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun East Senatorial District have endorsed Governor Dapo Abiodun as their consensus candidate for the 2027 senatorial election.
The endorsement was announced at a stakeholders’ meeting held at Adeola Odutola Hall, Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State, on Monday, April 20, 2026.
The meeting had in attendance members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), former and serving local government chairmen, and past and present lawmakers at both state and national levels.
Also present were councillors from all wards in the district, as well as women and youth leaders.
Speaking on behalf of the stakeholders, a former senator representing Ogun East, Lekan Mustapha, said the decision was based on the conviction that Abiodun has the capacity to represent the district effectively at the Senate.
Mustapha said the party leaders would formally communicate the endorsement to the governor, including a commitment to purchase his nomination forms.
“We will put a body together to deliver this message to our governor that he has been adopted as the consensus candidate,” he said.

The Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, said the governor’s track record in governance and party cohesion made him deserving of the Senate seat.
“This endorsement is historic and unanimous. It reflects the collective belief that Gov. Dapo Abiodun is the right person for the position,” Talabi said.
Also speaking, a member of the House of Representatives, Femi Ogunbanwo, said the governor’s administration had fostered peace and development across the state.
He expressed confidence that Abiodun would attract more dividends of democracy to Ogun East at the national level.
The Chairman of Sagamu Local Government, Afolabi Odulate, also commended Abiodun’s performance and urged him to accept the senatorial position
