Giwa Odulana, a Peoples Democratic Party chieftain in Ogun State widely known as Ajirotutu, has formally declared his candidacy for the 2027 Ogun East Senatorial election. He made the announcement on Wednesday during a stakeholders' meeting held at the PDP Ward 3 Secretariat in Itantebo, Ijebu-Ode. Odulana stated that his decision to run stems from a desire to address governance gaps in the senatorial district, particularly in education, healthcare, youth employment, and road infrastructure. Describing himself as young and energetic, he emphasized the need for a generational shift in leadership to drive socio-economic progress across the nine local government areas in Ogun East. He criticized the All Progressives Congress, calling its performance in the region "quite disappointing" and urging a change in 2027. Odulana pledged inclusive governance, promising to prioritize the welfare of residents, empower women and youth, and elevate infrastructural development if elected. He called on party members and community leaders for support, assuring that his leadership would leave no one behind.
Ajirotutu's call for generational change rings hollow coming from a party stalwart who has remained silent through years of the same governance failures he now denounces. His promise of inclusive development contrasts with the PDP's long record of internal power struggles that often sideline fresh voices. If youth inclusion is truly a priority, the party must prove it through transparent primaries, not just campaign rhetoric.
