Party insiders described the consensus arrangement as a calculated move to avoid a potentially divisive primary contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A ranking lawmaker with strong political ties in both Lagos and Ogun states, Adeola is widely regarded within party circles as a seasoned politician with significant grassroots appeal. His adoption signals the APC\u2019s early strategic positioning as political activities gradually build toward the next electoral cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development was reportedly met with enthusiasm by party faithful at the meeting, many of whom described the decision as a unifying step capable of consolidating support across various blocs within the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further details from the ongoing deliberations are expected to outline the formal endorsement process and the party\u2019s roadmap as preparations intensify for the 2027 governorship race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator , popularly known as Yayi, has emerged as the consensus governorship candidate of
