Prince Rotimi Babajide, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate in Ogun State, has pledged to unlock the state's vast economic potential for the benefit of its citizens if he wins the 2027 election. Speaking at a town hall meeting in Abeokuta, Babajide emphasized his commitment to transforming the state's economy. He also highlighted the need to revive the agricultural sector, which he attributed to rural-urban migration and the pursuit of white-collar jobs.
Babajide's campaign promises focus on inclusivity and prioritizing the needs of women and youths. He envisions an administration that provides equal opportunities for all residents, regardless of their background or location. The candidate also aims to promote digital education tools for students in both public and private schools. This move seeks to bridge the educational divide and create a more equitable society.

He emphasized that the state's development plan is sound and will bring prosperity to its citizens. With over three million registered voters, Babajide encouraged residents to vote out poverty and hunger by supporting the APM.
The candidate lamented the decline of Nigeria's agricultural system, attributing it to rural-urban migration and the abandonment of farming for white-collar jobs. He promised to make agriculture more attractive to young people and revitalize the sector. This move aims to address the root causes of the agricultural decline and create new opportunities for the state's residents.
Comrade Abayomi Sanyaolu, the Chairman of the APM, criticized the APC for spending billions of naira on campaign activities while neglecting basic needs like potable water. He questioned the rationale behind such spending, emphasizing that these funds could be better utilized to provide essential amenities for citizens.
