Adenuga Enters Ogun’s 2027 Race, Vows People-First Education and Jobs Reforms

Politics

Adenuga has formally entered the race for Ogun State’s 2027 election, presenting his bid as a people-led drive rather than a traditional party campaign. In a statement shared with reporters on Saturday, he argued that the state’s economic promise has not yet translated into better day-to-day conditions for many residents.

He pointed to Ogun’s strategic position, a hardworking population, fertile agricultural land and a growing industrial sector, yet said persistent obstacles are holding back progress. Among the problems he cited were joblessness, weak infrastructure, unreliable electricity, limited healthcare capacity, and public projects that have been left unfinished.

  • Adenuga says his 2027 ambition is a people-driven movement, not a conventional campaign.
  • He highlights Ogun State’s untapped economic and industrial potential alongside ongoing challenges including unemployment, poor infrastructure, inconsistent power supply, inadequate healthcare and abandoned projects.
  • He says the BOOT Party approach will focus on accountability, accessibility and measurable outcomes.
  • Key pillars of his agenda include education, healthcare, infrastructure, industrial growth, traditional institutions and community partnerships.
  • He pledges reforms to technical, vocational and digital skills training, plus support for employable skills and entrepreneurship.
  • He promises upgrades to primary healthcare centres and a focus on roads, water systems, rural access routes and power projects across all 20 local government areas.
  • He says he will make Ogun more business-friendly by cutting bureaucratic delays, protecting legitimate land ownership and backing local manufacturers, artisans and agro-processors.
  • He calls for youth, entrepreneurs, farmers, professionals and community leaders to join the movement.

Adenuga said the BOOT Party would govern with an emphasis on accountability, being accessible to citizens and delivering results that can be measured. He framed his decision to run as motivated by a plan to implement solutions, rather than rely on political promises.

In laying out his priorities, he highlighted education, healthcare and infrastructure as central areas, alongside industrial expansion, the role of traditional institutions and partnerships with communities. He presented these elements as the foundation for a proposed administration aimed at turning Ogun’s potential into tangible improvements.

Education, skills and jobs

On education, Adenuga said his government would overhaul technical, vocational and digital skills training to better match the demands of the labour market. He added that private sector involvement would be a key part of the plan to ensure graduates leave school with practical, job-ready abilities and pathways to entrepreneurship.

Healthcare, roads and power

Turning to healthcare and infrastructure, Adenuga promised to upgrade primary healthcare centres throughout the state. He also said his administration would prioritise roads, water systems, rural access routes and dependable power projects designed to strengthen economic activity in every part of Ogun, including all 20 local government areas.

He further pledged to position Ogun State as the most business-friendly environment in Nigeria. His approach includes lowering bureaucratic obstacles, safeguarding lawful land ownership and providing support for local manufacturers, artisans and agro-processors through incentives and improved access to opportunities.

In a concluding message, Adenuga said the moment calls for governance that listens, plans and delivers. He argued that Ogun requires leadership that is both capable and disciplined to build for the future, and he urged youths, entrepreneurs, farmers, professionals and community leaders to take part in the movement.

He ended by reiterating that the BOOT Party’s mission is to create a stronger Ogun State through collective effort and responsible leadership.
