Adeola is by and by the Senator speaking to Lagos West Senatorial District at the National Assembly. The 47-year-old senator is a Chartered Accountant. His invasion into the Ogun State Governorship challenge has raised tidy. He has a detailed crusade association and appreciates an ideal mien among the general population. Regardless, he faces real difficulties. To start with, among the difficulties is that he appears to experience issues following his root in the senatorial area. While Yayi has asserted to hail from Pahayi, in Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government of Ogun State, his political adversaries and opponents have kept on questioning the legitimacy of the claim, affirming deception. Furthermore, this advancement has strengthened the confidence in a few quarters, in Ogun West, that the Lagos senator isn't a genuine son of the dirt. Some of his adversaries have even placed that, if the senator ought to have his way through, to rise as the following governor, there is likelihood, that individuals from his bureau would be drawn from Alimosho Local Government, Lagos state, to the hindrances of the Ogun West individuals who have, for since quite a while ago, cried foul of minimization and carelessness. What's more, thus, they are not prepared to exchange off the brilliant open door, this time around. Moreover, the present governor, Sen Ibikunle Amosun, has not covered his despise for Yayi's development as he has more than once on severally open capacities made striking to mark him as one of the "tekobos", who can't succeed him in office, come May 29, 2019. Be that as it may, others have cautioned of the critical outcomes of underrating the yearning of Yayi. It was accumulated, that Yayi is appreciating the help of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has no reason for stress. In addition, Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, and Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, are accepted to working round the clock, for the rise of Adeola as the following Ogun State governor. It is expected that, if Yayi can't get the governorship ticket on the APC stage, he is probably going to actualise his offer on another stage which it is yet to be divulged.

In acknowledging how much provision has been sufficiently thoughtful to him, KLM committed his life to administration to mankind through group benefit exercises and this translated in the setting up of a charitable association, "Aseele Labowaba", which has been engaged with life-sparing and changing tasks over the three senatorial areas in the state. Onlookers expect that he may experience issues raising the required reserve to actualise his desire.
Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka (otherwise known as GNI)
Isiaka, an Imeko-conceived legislator, was a two-time Ogun state gubernatorial hopeful, both on Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) in 2011 and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.

GNI, a commonly recognized name in Ogun legislative issues is ostensibly the most well known hopeful. In any case, with his guide, Gbenga Daniel betraying him, spectators expect that GNI may experience issues raising the vital assets to actualise his fantasy of turning into the state governor.
Chief Tolu Odebiyi
Odebiyi is the present Chief of Staff to the Ogun State Government.

Insiders trusted that Amosun has kept the card away from plain view, of his favored hopeful and has not examined with any living soul who his successor would be, that all noise, all over, have been the jokes of gossip mongers and mischiefmakers, endeavoring to mix the hornet's home. It was further learnt that Amosun has neither received, nor blessed any applicant that would succeed him.

This time around, they have to hit the nail on the head else, they would exchange it off to the restriction", counseled a recent Ogun State Commissioner who ached for obscurity.
