…Ogun front man’s men in frenzy to make it

Information filtering in revealed, an intense political battle is on between two chieftains of same political party.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is at logger heads with governor of Ogun state, Ibikunle Amosun.

And the cause of their conflict is simple – political relevance and influence at the federal level which translate into power in the south west region.

Governor Amosun is accused of leveraging on past relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari to set himself as his point man in Southwest at the expense of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The situation is said to have degenerated to the point that the Ogun state is labelled part
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

of those out to reduce the influence of Asiwaju tinubu within the party – and south west region in general.

‘At present a cagey relationship exists between them’ an insider divulged.

Interestingly both Asiwaju Tinubu and Amosun worked together to cripple the influence of former party man, Aremo Segun Osoba and shining light of opposition party, People’s Democratic Party – Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

With the tide turned and the two now working against each other in the same party, followers of events are keenly watching the moves and counter moves.
Gov Ibikunle Amosun Revelations that just came to fore have it that at president, Amosun belongs to both the camp of Senate President Saraki and President Muhammadu Buhari.

Asiwaju Tinubu retains the support and leadership of the Tinubu camp.

Both appear evenly matched based on their support base.

And to take care of the problem Amosun represents, sources divulged that Asiwaju Tinubu and his ardent followers are seeking ways to gain a foothold into his inner caucus.

A move that is appears hard to come by.

The Ogun state governor surrounds himself with only associates of long standing that
migrated with him across borders of political parties he crossed before joining forces with the political movement of Asiwaju Tinubu.

‘But the upcoming appointments into the Ogun state executive cabinet appears a targeted entry point for Amosun’s opponents’ a source divulged

Informants divulged that people perceived to be sympathetic to the plight of party leader Tinubu within Amosun’s caucus are being plied with influence and positioned to make the list.

‘They need an inside man and they are working hard to ensure they get it’ a source divulged.

Added information revealed frenzy of Amosun’s men to ensure re appointment or make the commissioners’ list this time for first comers is creating perfect play ground Asiwaju and his loyalists.

‘You realise with a loyalist inside Amosun inner caucus or close to those extremely close to him…they can finally get a handle on how to cage him’ another source analysed.

More digs by societynowng.com revealed that while some of the contenders for the Ogun executive cabinet positions strive to leverage on influence and clout of friends and associates, others have reportedly turned to ‘spiritualism’ to actualise their agenda.
