APC Ogun West Senatorial District Positions Waliu Taiwo As Candidate In 2027-Investigations



The senatorial campaign of Hon. Waliu Taiwo, Chairman of the Ogun State House of Assembly Service Commission is gathering momentum.

The former Ogun State Commissioner for Works is being prepared as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Ogun West Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections.

This followed plans within the leadership of the APC that the current senator representing the district, Senator Solomon Adebola Olamilekan (popularly known as Yayi), would be the APC’s governorship candidate in Ogun State in 2027.

Sources revealed that APC leaders and a significant number of members of the party in Ogun State are backing Waliu Taiwo based on his extensive political experience and track records.

According to an insider, Hon. Waliu Taiwo is will emerge as the consensus candidate for the senatorial seat.

"Hon. Waliu Taiwo is a man of the people. We trust his ability to step into Senator Yayi's shoes as the latter is poised to become the next governor of Ogun State after Governor Dapo Abiodun completes his two constitutionally allowed terms," said Alhaji Ademola Iyanda, a prominent leader of the APC in the district.

He continued, "Hon. Waliu Taiwo is a man of integrity. His tenure as Commissioner under former Governor Gbenga Daniel is fondly remembered, and his reputation precedes him.

"Once he becomes the APC candidate, the people will rally behind him because they know his capabilities."

Alhaji Iyanda stressed that with the newfound unity within the Ogun State APC, the party is fully committed to supporting Hon. Waliu Taiwo, who he said has the political acumen to represent the district effectively in the Senate.

Leaders of the APC in the senatorial district were said to have agreed that Taiwo’s emergence as senator would be a significant step forward for Ogun West and the state at large.

"His candidacy would mark a turning point for Ogun State and particularly Ogun West Senatorial District at this critical moment," said another party insider.

It was agreed that the APC cannot afford to field an unpopular candidate from Ogun West for the coveted office and that the likes of Waliu Taiwo has what the people wanted in a leader and a legislature in the red chamber.
