Former House of Representatives member Jimoh Ojugbele has emerged as the All Progressives Congress candidate for Ogun West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general election.
Ojugbele, who previously represented Ado-Odo/Ota Federal Constituency for three terms, defeated three other aspirants in the party’s senatorial primary, polling 85,552 votes out of 86,811 accredited voters.
The result was announced by the Returning Officer for Ogun West, Dapo Odukoya.
Speaking after his victory, Ojugbele praised the peaceful conduct of the primary, describing the exercise as free, fair and crisis-free across the senatorial district.
He said the smooth process reflected unity within the party and expressed confidence that the 2027 general election in the district would also be peaceful.
The former lawmaker, known for his constituency projects during his time in the National Assembly, pledged to build on the achievements of incumbent senator Adeola Olamilekan Yayi.
While commending Yayi’s performance, which he described as transformative for representation in Ogun West, Ojugbele promised to improve on the senator’s legacy if elected.
