The Chairman Senate Committee on Appropriation and Senator representing Ogun West, Solomon Adeola, on Saturday, said that it was not yet time to talk about the 2027 governorship race in the state.
Adeola said that he is currently preoccupied with delivering on his campaign promises as Senator representing the people of Ogun West and that the future would determine his next political move.
The third-term Senator disclosed this while speaking with journalists during the annual New Year thanksgiving service held on Saturday at the Unity Cathedral of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ogun Province Seven, Ilaro.

Asked to confirm the media report suggesting that his next political move would be to succeed Dapo Abiodun after his term in 2027, Adeola explained, “I don’t think it is time for that now, we are still involved in trying to bring back the dividends of democracy to the people as senator elected for Ogun West.
“What we are here to do today is to appreciate the Almighty God for his support in the past years and to also celebrate the new year with my people for their support and cooperation as well, because they are the ones who put me in this office.
“So, in the future, we can start talking about that when the time is ripe to know if I am going forward or I am staying where I am, the future will determine all of that.”
