The BOOT Party has chosen Adekunle Adenuga as its governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Ogun State, with the aspirant promising to introduce practical solutions to the state’s development challenges if elected.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony held on Friday at the party’s secretariat in Arinlese, Abeokuta, Adenuga thanked party members for the confidence placed in him. He said his ambition is driven by a desire to deliver meaningful change rather than attack past administrations.
According to him, his team has spent 16 years developing a comprehensive development plan capable of transforming Ogun State and serving as a model for the rest of the country.
He said, “I accept the responsibility of being the flag bearer of this party. For over 16 years, I have dedicated myself to finding practical solutions to the problems confronting our society. We have carefully developed our plans and agenda, and I thank God for giving me the opportunity to begin implementing them in Ogun State.
“I did not come to condemn anybody. I came to address the real issues affecting our people. We have a practical and structured plan that will tackle the challenges facing the state.
“Our blueprint is designed for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but we are starting from Ogun State to demonstrate that it can work. When people begin to see the results, other states will naturally be interested in adopting the model.
“I don’t want to repeat the promises Nigerians have heard repeatedly from political parties. We continue to hear the same commitments regarding healthcare, education, infrastructure and security, yet the expected transformation has not materialized. Our approach is different because it is backed by practical solutions.”
Also addressing party members, the Ogun State Chairman of the BOOT Party, Abiodun Akerele, said the party would be guided by transparency, accountability, obedience to the rule of law and selfless service if given the mandate to govern.
He noted that the party’s guiding philosophy is captured in its motto, “Fiduciary, Obedience and Service,” adding that it places a strong emphasis on accountability and prudent management of public resources, including the regular submission of financial reports to INEC.
He said, “Our party gives a detailed account of every income and expenditure every year as required by INEC. Accountability is one of our core values, and when we are entrusted with public office, we will ensure that every resource held in trust for the people is properly accounted for.
“Without obedience, there can be no discipline, no progress, and crime will thrive. In this party, our constitution is supreme, and every member is expected to abide by the rules and regulations.”
Akerele added that the party was established to put the interests of the people first, assuring that its elected officials would always prioritise public welfare over personal or political interests.
