Ogun State All Progressives Congress governorship candidate Senator Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, said the late veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly called Ogogo, would have been appointed his Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture had he won the 2027 governorship election. According to Punch, Adeola disclosed this during a condolence visit on Tuesday following the actor's death, paying tribute to the late Nollywood figure and revealing the role he had planned for him in his prospective administration.

According to Legit.ng, APC senator Yayi Adeola said he plans to immortalise the late Nollywood veteran Ogogo if elected governor of Ogun State, including giving the actor a proposed role. The report frames the pledge as part of Adeola’s governorship vision, but provides no further detail on the role, timing, funding, or how the immortalisation would be implemented beyond his stated intention.

The Ogun West Progressive Unity Forum (OWPUF) has endorsed Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola's governorship bid for 2027, countering claims of division within the senatorial district regarding his aspirations. The group asserted that the district remains united in its political goals, despite reports of opposition to Adeola's candidacy.

Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) senatorial candidate for Oyo Central Senatorial District, has endorsed Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's potential presidential bid ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to Tribune Online, Ajadi praised Makinde's 'Reset Nigeria' agenda while declaring his support. The endorsement adds to early political manoeuvring and alignments among Nigerian politicians and parties as stakeholders begin positioning themselves for the 2027 polls.

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, identified as the Allied Peoples Movement presidential candidate for 2027, said he would not reinstate Nigeria’s fuel subsidy if elected, according to the Daily Post. Speaking at the inauguration of his campaign office in Abuja on Monday, Makinde argued subsidy removal was final and instead proposed a more transparent approach to delivering benefits to Nigerians, without detailing specific measures in the excerpt.

According to a group, Senator Solomon Adeola's (Yayi) empowerment programmes and projects have significantly increased his popularity, positioning him as a strong candidate for the Ogun State Governorship. The initiatives have garnered widespread support among the populace.
