Daniel’s Loyalists Launch Countdown To Abiodun’s Exit As Ogun Gov
ahead of his expected exit in 2027.
Supporters of Senator Gbenga Daniel have launched a political countdown for Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, ahead of his expected exit in 2027.
Abiodun will complete his constitutionally permitted two terms that year, but his tenure is already facing pointed questions from Daniel’s camp over his record in office.
The countdown focuses on Abiodun’s performance in key sectors, including infrastructure, economic growth, industrial development, health, security, rural development, and youth empowerment — all framed as benchmarks for judging his stewardship.
Observers see the move as a calculated escalation in the intensifying battle over the Ogun East Senatorial seat in 2027.
Daniel, a former two-term governor and current senator, is determined to retain the seat, while Abiodun is widely believed to be positioning to succeed him after leaving the governorship.
Both leaders, prominent figures in the ruling APC, have been locked in a rivalry that has grown increasingly personal.
The latest countdown is widely viewed as another chapter in what political insiders describe as a high-stakes “make-or-mar” supremacy contest.
