The All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Adeola Solomon Olamilekan, popularly known as Yayi, has assured members of the party in the state that God would grant the party victory in the 2027 general elections without a fight.
Adeola gave the assurance while speaking at the imterfaith prayer and praise concert organised for victory for all APC candidates and the to seek divine intervention and commit the party’s preparations for the 2027 elections to God.
The senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District said the prayers offered at the gathering would culminate in victory for the party at all levels, beginning with the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027.
He expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would be re-elected, alongside APC candidates contesting National Assembly seats in Ogun State.
Senator Yayi, who is aspiring to succeed Governor Dapo Abiodun, also prayed for divine support for his emergence as the next governor of the state.
According to him, the APC would record victory without a serious contest, saying God had already begun paving the way for the party ahead of the February 6, 2027 governorship election.
Adeola added that while other political actors were allegedly making efforts to reorganise their political platforms, he remained confident that the APC would emerge victorious.
He said, “That same God that will give us victory on January 16 will also support me to become the seventeenth Executive Governor of Ogun State.
“God will give us victory and clear our path without a fight. Because there will be nobody contesting against us. God has started that already. In February 6, 2027, there will be nobody, because they are all partyless.”
He said they are running helter-skelter to perfect their shortcomings but God has spoken that He’s going to give us victory without a fight,” he added.
Also speaking, Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, said the gathering was an opportunity for APC members to seek God’s guidance and commit their political journey towards 2027 into His hands.
Abiodun said the party had gathered to put God first through prayers, songs and thanksgiving, expressing confidence that the prayers would yield positive results.
Reflecting on his political journey, Abiodun recalled the challenges he faced during the 2019 governorship election, saying his emergence as governor was a testimony to God’s intervention.
He said the political circumstances at the time were difficult, but maintained that the same God who helped him navigate those challenges remained capable of guiding the state through another transition.
The governor added that despite the challenges and political opposition he encountered in 2018, he eventually emerged as governor, stressing that the same divine intervention would guide the state towards a smooth transition from his administration to the next government.
“We have gathered here to seek the Almighty’s face and commit our journey of 2027 into His hands.
“Today, we have come here to put God first, to pray, dance and sing. I am very confident and without a doubt that our heart desires shall be granted with the men of God who have prayed for us.
“I recalled how the journey was in 2018. When we started, it was not like this at all; it was tough. But God has used me as a testimony.
“God of 2018 is still around, and He will continue to allow us to embark on a smooth transition from a sitting governor to the incoming governor,” he said.
Earlier in his sermon, the Regional Evangelist of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Johnson Kalejaiye prayed for divine intervention for the 2027 general elections.
Pastor Kalejaiye prophesied that, God will clear the coast for Ogun APC and lead the party to victory without a fight.
