Ijebu Muslim professionals have thrown their weight behind Hon. Abdul-Raman Dapo Okubadejo, advocating him for the deputy governorship candidate position of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections in Ogun State.
The endorsement was made public by the President of the association, Sherik Abdulazeez Malik Odumosun, who addressed members of the media on the group’s position and reasons for backing Okubadejo.
According to Odumosun, Hon. Okubadejo has demonstrated exceptional leadership capacity and commitment to grassroots development through his role as a commissioner, particularly in the area of infrastructure development across Ijebu land.
He noted that several road projects executed under Okubadejo’s influence have significantly improved connectivity and boosted economic activities within the region, earning him widespread commendation from residents.
Odumosun further highlighted Okubadejo’s contributions to youth empowerment, stressing that his initiatives in skills acquisition, ICT training, financial support, and job creation have positively impacted many young people in the area.
On security, the association praised Okubadejo for strengthening safety measures by supporting security agencies with operational vehicles, thereby enhancing their capacity to tackle emerging security challenges in Ijebu communities.
The group also acknowledged his role in facilitating access to government opportunities at the federal, state, and local government levels, describing him as a bridge between the people and the government.
He described the commissioner as one of the most accessible public office holders, noting that his leadership style has translated into tangible and positive achievements across Ogun State.
While urging party stakeholders and the general public to support the call, Odumosun emphasized that pairing Okubadejo with Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) as governorship candidate would ensure balanced representation and sustained development in Ogun State ahead of the 2027 elections.
