In a significant political development, Bayo Orebiyi, a former aide to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, has been named the consensus candidate for the Yewa South seat in the Ogun Assembly by the All Progressives Congress (APC). This decision comes amid ongoing preparations for the upcoming elections, highlighting the party's strategic moves to consolidate support in key areas.
Orebiyi's candidacy is seen as a continuation of Abiodun's governance agenda, aiming to enhance representation for the Yewa South constituency. The endorsement reflects a broader effort by the APC to unify its factions and present a formidable front against opposition parties in the region. “We believe Bayo has the vision and dedication to elevate our community,” stated Ogun State APC Chairman, Yemi Sanusi, emphasizing the party's confidence in Orebiyi's capabilities.
As the electoral landscape evolves, Orebiyi's campaign will likely focus on addressing local concerns while rallying grassroots support. His emergence as the consensus candidate could signal a renewed commitment within the APC to maintain its influence in Ogun State and potentially reshape the political dynamics in Yewa South.
