Emerging details have it that former Governor Ibikunle Amosun appeared to have secured the upper hand in the tussle for the soul of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State.
A list released – leaked – yesterday night- Friday, December 10, 2021 – indicates that Derin Adebiyi has been affirmed as the APC chairman in Ogun State by the APC National Headquarters.

Both factions claimed to be the authentic APC group in Ogun state and submitted parallel lists of elected Executives to the National Headquarters.
“But as it stands, the SIA (Senator Ibikunle Amosun) faction has been recognized” SocietyNow.Ng learned.
The list reportedly sourced from the National Headquarters of the APC tagged titled “All Progressives Congress State Chairmen” has aside Derin Adebiyi for Ogun state- Isaac Omodewu (Oyo), Cornelius Ojelabi (Lagos), Augustine Agada (Benue), Abdullahi Bello (Kogi), Fagbemi S Adeniran (Kwara), Gboyega Famodun (Osun), Ade Adetimehin (Ondo), Emeka Beke (Rivers) and others.
