Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi and the APC governorship candidate for Ogun State’s 2027 election, says he had planned to appoint the late actor Taiwo Hassan, known as Ogogo, as his Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture if he became governor.
Yayi makes the disclosure during a condolence visit and meetings with Ogogo’s family at their Ilaro country home. Both reports describe the same promise about the proposed advisory role and link it to Yayi’s political plans for 2027. The accounts focus on Ogogo’s legacy and the candidate’s intention for a culture and tourism portfolio, offering limited additional detail on other campaign positions or timelines.
While the outlets present the same core message, one report emphasizes the planned appointment as part of “Ogun tourism, culture,” and the other highlights that Yayi discussed the plan in the context of his meeting and includes a video reference.
