Ogun Deputy Governor Noimot Salako-Oyedele has officially declared her intention to run for the Ogun West Senate seat by picking up her APC nomination form for the 2027 elections. This significant step underscores her ambition to solidify her political presence within the ruling All Progressives Congress, particularly as the political landscape evolves ahead of the elections.

Salako-Oyedele's decision comes amid growing competition for the Senate seat, which has drawn interest from various political figures in Ogun State. With her experience as deputy governor, she aims to leverage her administrative background to appeal to voters. “I am committed to bringing progress and development to Ogun West,” Salako-Oyedele stated, reflecting her focus on regional issues and community engagement.

As the election cycle heats up, Salako-Oyedele's candidacy could reshape the dynamics in Ogun West, especially given the APC's influence in the region.
