The Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Ogun State has unveiled Chief Olalekan Shoyinka, popularly known as “Ayinla Egba,” as the party’s consensus candidate for the chairmanship of Abeokuta South Local Government in the upcoming local government elections.
The
announcement was made during the state congress and party primaries held on Saturday, where ADP leaders, led by the state chairperson Yeye Olufunke Olanrewaju, expressed their confidence in Ayinla Egba as the right choice to lead the local government.
According to the party, his broad appeal and deep-rooted connection to the community made him a suitable candidate for the position.
As part of the congress proceedings, the party also presented its candidates for councillors positions across the 15 political wards within the local government area.
Speaking after his unveiling, Ayinla Egba expressed gratitude for the widespread support he has received from residents during his campaign visits across several communities within the council.
He noted that the reception has been overwhelming, with some communities completing development projects in his name as a show of solidarity.
Ayinla Egba vowed to prioritise good governance, promising to bring a new narrative to leadership if elected.
“We are going to do good. We are going to use the office to ensure good governance,” he stated.
He emphasised that his administration would be people-centred, driven by the interests and needs of the residents.
“We have no choice but to run people-interest governance because this is not our last bus stop,” he added, hinting at his larger political aspirations beyond the chairmanship role.
The forthcoming elections are expected to be keenly contested, with Ayinla Egba positioning himself as a candidate focused on development and the well-being of Abeokuta South’s residents.
