How Aderinokun Is Getting The Better Of Abiodun’s Chief Of Staff In Senatorial Fight

David Olumide Aderinokun is unrelenting in his bid to become the successor of former Governor Ibikunle Amosun as the Senator representing Ogun Central.

Aderinokun the husband of the t.v gal Stephanie Coker is the candidate of the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the senatorial district.

The 50year old – his next birthday is August 18 – is up against Shuaib Afolabi Salisu, the Chief of Staff to Governor Dapo Abiodun.

The Chief of Staff got pierced the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket from Amosun with the recognition of the faction he belongs to by the national leadership of the party.

It didn’t help Amosun that he was hunting for the Presidential ticket of the APC – he stepped down for winner Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on election day – during this time.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered that though emerging talks project Aderinokun to benefit from the angst of Amosun’s loyalists over the sidelining of the former governor’s group with the recognition of governor Abiodun faction – which has adopted a winner takes all posture – the senatorial candidate is not leaving anything to chance.

information at hand revealed that Aderinokun whose first foray into the politics of Ogun state was as a house of representatives aspirant has embarked on massive life-touching gestures among the locals.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered that with OA Ambassadors (Olamide Aderinokun Ambassadors) as his point men, they are heavily “influencing” young people and women to his side.

Added information has it that aided by Aderinokun’s digital team, the increasing numbers of young people backing his candidacy are playing big on the social media space in his name.

“They are educating the populace on the need to register for PVC (permanent voters card) and vote in the election in Aderinokun’s name, images ad videos. And they are keeping it local and outshining his main opponent on and offline” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.

Aderinokun’s backers claim he “has empowered more than 7000women in Ogun central and he is committed to empowering more”

Empowerment is defined as trade support in terms of either cash or provision of “materials”.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered that Aderinokun leveraged the recent Eid-Il-Kabir celebration to boost his popularity and rapport with the people of the senatorial district with the distribution of 300 Rams and 2000 food packs.

Another strategy that is said to be working for the graduate of business studies from the University of East London is increasing collaboration with other candidates and reaching out to political leaders across party lines to “see things his way“.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered that it is to Aderinokun’s credit that he ran a “robust campaign” to win the PDP senatorial candidate in Ogun Central.

“Talks of the manner of the campaign he ran to cinch the PDP senatorial ticket still keep him on the lips of many and his people are using it to further narratives boosting his chances” SocietyNow.Ng learned.

SocietyNow.Ng further learned these moves by Aderinokun and his supporters by backed by projections of benefiting from the angst of Amosun’s men are propelling him above Shuaib Afolabi Salisu in Ogun central.
