Leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Remo Division of Ogun East Senatorial District have unanimously endorsed Governor Dapo Abiodun as their preferred candidate for the Senate in the 2027 general election.
The endorsement was made during a well-attended meeting of party leaders on Tuesday, where stakeholders across the division urged the governor to contest the Ogun East senatorial seat.
Moving the motion, Chief Muri Awolaja, an apex leader of the party from Sagamu Local Government, described Abiodun as an achiever and a true son of Remoland and Ogun East, noting that he was eminently qualified to represent the district at the National Assembly. The motion was seconded by a former chairman of Remo North Local Government, Dapo Odunsi.
