Ogun State Deputy Governor, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, has officially taken a major political step ahead of the 2027 general elections by obtaining the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination form to contest for the Ogun West Senatorial seat.
Salako-Oyedele’s move signals her intention to transition from the executive arm of government to the legislative chamber, where she aims to represent the interests of Ogun West at the National Assembly. Her decision has already begun to generate reactions within political circles in the state, with many viewing it as a strategic shift in Ogun’s political landscape.
A seasoned technocrat and politician, Salako-Oyedele has served as deputy governor since 2019, working alongside Governor Dapo Abiodun. Over the years, she has been actively involved in governance, policy implementation, and developmental initiatives across various sectors in the state.
Sources within the APC suggest that her entry into the race could reshape the dynamics of the party’s primaries in Ogun West, a district considered crucial in the state’s political calculations. Party stakeholders and supporters are expected to closely watch how the contest unfolds in the coming months.
While she is yet to make a detailed public declaration of her campaign agenda, political observers believe her experience in governance and public service may form a key part of her pitch to voters.
The 2027 elections are still some time away, but early moves like this highlight the growing momentum among aspirants positioning themselves for key legislative seats across the state
