Fletcher Hails Senator Yayi’s 56th Birthday, Applauds His Commitment to Good Governance—-The President of the Association of Professional Food Service Providers of Nigeria (APFSN) , Managing Director, OfadaBoy Restaurant, a professional food service company, convener Ofada Rice Day and Co-Convener of Yayi Forward, Mr. Oluwatobi Fletcher (Ofadaboy), has felicitated with the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, on his birthday.

Fletcher, who is an indigene of Ofada town in Obafemi Owode local Government in Ogun State, described Senator Adeola as a committed public servant whose political journey and contributions to legislative development have continued to make a significant impact on the people of Ogun State and Nigeria.

In a birthday message, Fletcher commended the Senator for his dedication to public service, describing his leadership style as one anchored on grassroots engagement, purposeful representation and commitment to the welfare and development of his constituents.

According to Fletcher, Senator Adeola’s contributions to the development of Ogun West and his broader efforts in supporting initiatives that promote economic growth, empowerment and improved opportunities for the people deserve recognition and commendation.

“Today, we celebrate not just a politician, but a leader whose journey reflects resilience, dedication and a deep commitment to public service. Senator Solomon Adeola has demonstrated that leadership is ultimately about the people and the positive impact one can make in their lives.

“On behalf of APFSN, Yayi Forward and myself, I wish our distinguished Senator a very happy birthday. May God continue to grant him wisdom, good health, strength and the courage to continue serving our people and contributing to the development of our dear nation,” Fletcher said.

The APFSN President further expressed confidence that Senator Adeola would continue to provide purposeful leadership and contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic development of Ogun State and Nigeria.

He prayed for many more years of good health, fulfilment, greater accomplishments and continued relevance in public service.

“Happy Birthday, Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola. May your new age usher in greater opportunities, renewed strength and even greater impact in the service of humanity,” Fletcher added.

Lagos 2027: Governor Sanwo-Olu Endorses Obafemi Hamzat as APC Aspirant—-Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has thrown his weight behind his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, as his preferred successor for the 2027 governorship election—an early move that is already stirring quiet conversations within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The endorsement did not come in the open. Instead, it followed a closed-door meeting at Lagos House, Marina, where Hamzat reportedly informed key stakeholders of his intention to run. Present at the gathering were members of the State Executive Council, party leaders, and influential figures within the Governor’s Advisory Council.

Among those in attendance were former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, and former senator Ganiyu Solomon—names that signal the weight of the political bloc involved in the discussions.

Speaking afterwards, Sanwo-Olu described the decision as “unanimous,” framing it as a consensus among party stakeholders. But the speed and timing of the endorsement—well ahead of party primaries—have raised eyebrows about how firmly the succession plan may already be taking shape behind the scenes.

“We just received Mr Deputy… to inform us of his intention,” the governor said, adding that those present agreed he is “fit and well-prepared” for the role.

Sanwo-Olu leaned heavily on Hamzat’s track record and their long-standing working relationship, portraying him as a loyal and capable hand ready to take over. He went further, suggesting that Hamzat has effectively been groomed for the position from the outset.

“This is a deputy governor that is worth a governor from day one,” he said.

In a remark that may further fuel speculation, the governor also referenced President Bola Tinubu’s enduring influence in Lagos politics, hinting that the current development could be part of a longer-term political vision.

Observers note that describing the gathering as a “family meeting” may reflect the tightly knit nature of decision-making within the state’s political structure—where major alignments are often settled before they reach the public stage.

While Hamzat has long been regarded as a key player in Lagos politics, the early endorsement positions him more clearly at the centre of succession discussions, even before a formal campaign has begun.

With more than a year to go before party primaries, the move is already reshaping conversations within the APC, where control of Lagos—Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre—remains one of the most strategic political prizes.

Whether this early alignment holds or faces internal pushback in the months ahead is a question many party watchers are now quietly asking
