A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Sakiru Jimoh, has donated a campaign office to support Senator Solomon Adeola's 2027 governorship bid. Jimoh, also known as Jimson, hails from Obada-Oko in Ewekoro Local Government Area. He stated that his decision to donate the office was driven by his personal affection for Adeola and his desire to contribute to the development of their community and the political process.
The donated campaign office is located in Ewekoro and features a large meeting hall, conference hall, director's office, secretary's office, and a borehole for public use. Jimoh explained that the facility was designed to bring political activities closer to party members and residents, particularly those in Ewekoro who previously had to travel to Abeokuta to access their leaders. This initiative aims to strengthen grassroots political engagement and improve communication between leaders and their supporters.
Jimoh, a businessman with investments in the hospitality and oil and gas sectors, emphasized that Adeola's performance in the National Assembly has been unparalleled in Ogun State's history. He cited Adeola's infrastructural upgrades, including roads, health centers, schools, and market construction, as evidence of his commitment to serving the people. Jimoh expressed confidence that Adeola would perform even better as governor, given his leadership capacity demonstrated through his development initiatives.
The APC chieftain urged residents of Ogun State to support Adeola, focusing on his contributions and ability to deliver rather than his geographical origins. He appealed to the people to put aside sentiments about Adeola's place of origin and prioritize the development of the state. Jimoh emphasized that what matters is the benefit to the people, regardless of where a project originates.
At the commissioning of the campaign office, Adeola praised Jimoh for his gesture, saying the grassroots support would encourage him to remain focused and committed to taking Ogun State to greater heights. Adeola appreciated Jimoh's confidence in his ability to lead the state and promised to work tirelessly to ensure the state's progress.
Jimoh's donation of the campaign office is seen as a significant boost to Adeola's 2027 governorship bid. The office is expected to serve as a meeting point for grassroots politicians and party members to interact with their leaders, exchange ideas, and communicate their concerns. This initiative is also expected to bridge the gap between political leaders and their followers.
The development has garnered attention from residents of Ogun State, who are eager to see Adeola's vision for the state's progress. With the 2027 governorship election approaching, Adeola's campaign is expected to gain momentum, with supporters like Jimoh playing a crucial role in mobilizing grassroots support.
