Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, the Peoples Democratic Party’s deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State, says the party is confident of winning the 2027 election by a wide margin. The supplied material gives no reasons for the forecast, polling evidence, campaign plans or response from rival parties.

The Peoples Democratic Party’s deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State, Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, says the party is confident of winning the 2027 election by a wide margin. Sowunmi-Kolapo made the prediction on behalf of the party, according to the supplied information. The statement expresses confidence in the PDP’s electoral prospects but does not include evidence or figures to support the forecast.

The source material provides no details about the party’s campaign strategy, its candidate ticket, or the issues it plans to emphasise before the election. It also does not identify the basis for the deputy candidate’s expectation of a wide victory. There is no reaction from rival parties or other political actors in the available material.

The report therefore records the PDP candidate’s assessment without independently establishing the party’s electoral standing or the likely outcome of the 2027 poll.
