‘Yayi has no Ogun roots, he’s from Ekiti’ — Ex-LG Chairman attacks APC guber candidate

Former Ijebu East Local Government chairman, Wale Adedayo, has predicted that APC governorship candidate Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, will lose the 2027 Ogun State governorship election.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, as reported by Peoples Gazette,Adedayo alleged that Adeola lacks ancestral roots in Ogun and claimed he was originally known as Sulaimon Ogunleye from Ekiti State. He challenged the candidate to prove his ancestry.

Adedayo also predicted that APC would lose the governorship, senatorial and House of Representatives elections across the state, describing the expected outcome as a “seismic change.” However, he said President Bola Tinubu would retain the state in the presidential election and ruled out election-related violence.
