The Egba-born politician is no stranger to high-stakes contests, having previously contested twice for the Ogun Central Senatorial seat and twice for the state governorship. He highlighted his decades-long experience in both politics and private sector management, insisting his campaign is not about personal gain but a bold vision to reposition Ogun State as a leading economic hub in Nigeria.
Amusan’s agenda promises to tackle unemployment through industrial expansion and skill acquisition, boost agriculture and food security, improve healthcare and education, and enhance security and infrastructure. He also emphasized his reputation as a grassroots listener, engaging artisans, youth, farmers, and traditional leaders before designing policies.
Political analysts say Amusan’s entry could shake up APC primaries, given his legislative exposure, deep community networks, and resilience in previous campaigns.
