face strong opposition from increasing political forces with former Governor Ibikunle Amosun as the arrowhead.
The political intrigues in the politics of Ogun state are becoming more interesting by the day.
SocietyNow.Ng gathered that the coveted prize remains who becomes Governor in 2023.
SocietyNow.Ng gathered that the ambition of Governor Dapo Abiodun to secure another term in office is not yet etched with irreversible ink – even in his own political family.
Emerging details have it that there is a growing whisper in the Governor’s camp that serious thoughts are been given to the possibility of Lagos Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan taking over from the Governor in 2023.
Senator Adeola better known as Yayi who represents Lagos West has been neck-deep in the campaign to become the Ogun West Senator in 2023.
The checks by SocietyNow.Ng revealed that Yayi – believed to be the cover for the interests of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu – became a major force in Ogun state based on campaigns to be Senator ahead of the 2015 election and later Governor pre-the 2019 election before he put his political structure at the disposal of Governor Abiodun.
“The whispers that Abiodun got the support of the Yayi political structure, which secured a larger percentage of the appointments made so far, based on the understanding of serving a single term have always been then, the whispers are just getting louder as another election nears” SocietyNow.Ng.
The Lagos senator who kept his political profile high with an intense underground campaign to be Senator in Ogun state since Abiodun became Governor is fingered as the biggest gainer should the talks transform reality.
“Should Governor Abiodun fail to get out the claims, the Lagos Senator is touted as the person to take over the gubernatorial ticket based on the calculation of the political interests they represent according to the increasing whispers of Yayi’s supporters” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.
Governor Dapo Abiodun who is said to be interested in retaining his seat for another term and his backers- Yayi inclusive -face strong opposition from increasing political forces with former Governor Ibikunle Amosun as the arrowhead.
Abiodun and Amosun belong to the same political party- All Progressives Congress (APC).
It is the Amosun political family that wants to take over the Government while it was the reverse in the 2019 election.
