2023: Olufemi Ajadi Emerges Ogun Guber Candidate 

Chieftain of the New Nigeria People's Party, (NNPP) Olufemi Ajadi has emerged as the Ogun State Gubernatorial Candidate of the party.

Ajadi, a student of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ), who emerged through consensus, at a massively attended and peaceful primary replaces the placeholder, Olujobi Fayoyin.

Delegates from across the 20 local governments of the state participated in the primary with national officers of the party in attendance..

There was an uproarious approval the moment Ajadi was announced as the eventual flagbearer of the party in the state.

The event was held at the State Secretariat, Ashero, Ogun State, on August 3, 2022.

Speaking to journalists, Ajadi said that work for the revitalisation of Ogun State as a gateway state had already begun.

He said a State which had produced great men before now, like academics, statesmen, and entrepreneurs should not be seen to be lagging behind the home of great politicians, academics, entrepreneurs; scientists; great sportsmen and women, adding that anyone that looks around will agree that things are not working the way they should be.

"Government is not about the governor and his immediate cabinet alone. NNPP has come to change the narrative," he said.

The excerpt from his remarks."Our party is not satisfied with the state of roads in our dear state, especially when you move out of the capital and other cities.

"It does seem as if border communities like Ibafo, AKute, etc are not part of Ogun state, but millions of our people live there, hundreds of businesses are done there; we will address it.

"Every day, we hear stories of armed robbery, burglary, kidnap, and other security risks in the state! We will put a stop to it.

"We commend the OPC, Amotekun, and neighbourhood Watch for their efforts.

"Our government will collaborate with them and address the encroachment of criminals be they herdsmen or kidnappers in Ogun State. 

"We will introduce incentives for policemen serving here; will install CCTV cameras in different parts of the state, with inter-community surveillance.

"Ogun must be safe and secure. An NNPP administration will see to that.

"We will not run a state owing people salaries or pensions after they have served the state, that is a grave injustice and I promise all our people that all outstanding payments will be addressed. we promise a new salary structure upon being elected."
