Less than two weeks after the leadership of the Labour Party, LP, in Ogun State wooed the Chief Promoter of the Alternative Movement, Otunba Segun Showunmi, with a promise of the party’s governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 election, leaders of the Action Democratic Party, ADP, on Monday visited him with a similar offer.
The Ogun State chairperson of ADP, Yeye Olufunke Olarenwaju, disclosed this when she led party leaders to Showunmi’s residence at the Ibara Housing Estate, Abeokuta, on Monday.
She said the visit was part of efforts to invite Showunmi to join the party ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Describing Showunmi as a credible politician and grassroots mobiliser, Olarenwaju said he has the capacity to fly the party’s flag in the next election.
“We want him to come and contest the next governorship election under ADP. He is a credible politician and a grassroots mobiliser. We have found him worthy of the governorship seat in Ogun State, and that is why we have come to invite him to contest on the platform of ADP,” she said.
Showunmi, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, thanked the party for the invitation but said he would consult widely before making a decision.
Responding to questions from journalists on which party he would join, Showunmi said he would consider the most stable and organised party under which he could contest the next election.
He said, “What I expect to happen is that at some point in time, we will look at which party is the most stable, the most acceptable, and the most organised. Then we will run.”
