ABEOKUTA, OGUN STATE — In a show of political unity, the Ogun State chapter of the Labour Party closed ranks in the late hours of April 30th 2026, to present a joint consensus slate after marathon negotiations that stretched through the night of April 30th from 3:00 pm in the evening.
The protracted, energy-sapping meeting held in Abeokuta saw the two major divides within the party set aside differences to forge a single front ahead of this election cycle.
After hours of consultations, the party announced Mrs Mojisola O. Àjàyí as its consensus governorship candidate. Other key positions on the ticket were also filled through the same consensus agreement, though the party said full details of the slate would be released after official documentation is perfected..
Party leaders described the outcome as a “landmark achievement” for the Labour Party in Ogun, noting that the decision to present unified candidates was reached after protracted, energy sapping long hours of meeting that lasted till late night.
“This is what democracy looks like when interests are subordinated to the collective good,” a senior party chieftain said. “We went in as factions, we came out as one family with Mrs Mojisola O. Àjàyí leading the charge.”
Political observers say the unified presentation removes a major source of tension within the Ogun Labour Party and positions the party to campaign with one voice. The consensus arrangement is expected to strengthen the party’s structure across the state’s 20 local government areas while they synergize to strategies and develop an action plan to kick out the incumbent political party out of governance.
Mrs Àjàyí, a grassroots mobilizer, addressed the press after Apagun Olaolu Samuel and Yeye Olubukola Aṣabi Soyoye jointly unveiled and presented her to the good people of Ogun State at an International Press Conference yesterday at Iwe-iroyin House, Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta.
