Delivering a keynote address titled 'The Power of Internal Coherence in Securing External Support: A Roadmap to Achieving Ogun West Governorship Ambition in 2027,' Senator Bamidele charged political and professional elites in Ogun West to set aside personal ambitions and embrace collective purpose.
“Internal coherence is not optional; it is indispensable. Unity is political capital. It unlocks party confidence, elite endorsements, cross-district alliances and statewide voter legitimacy,” Bamidele declared.
He described Ogun West as a “peculiar case of political exclusion,” noting that Ogun West has never produced a governor since the creation of the state in 1976, despite decades of democratic governance.
“There is no denying the reality that a section of Ogun State has been consistently denied the topmost leadership position. But beyond structural exclusion, internal fragmentation within Ogun West has also weakened its political bargaining power,” he said.
Senator Bamidele warned that failure to close ranks could once again derail the district’s ambition.
“Multiple aspirants will only split votes. Political parties will bypass the district. External power blocs will dictate outcomes. The cost of disunity in 2027 will be historic,” he cautioned.
