Amosun Candidate Loses APC Senatorial Ticket As NWC Adopts Dapo Abiodun

Hours after Adams Oshiomhole met with the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, and some of his fellow governors, the APC headquarters gave a verdict against the Ogun governor’s interest.

According to Primium Times, The APC in Ogun, led by Mr Amosun, had adopted Adekunle Akinlabi, a federal lawmaker, as its ‘consensus’ governorship candidate despite the protest of several other aspirants.

When the APC National Working Committee, led by Mr Oshiomhole, dispatched a governorship primary committee to the state, the committee had a troubled relationship with the Ogun APC whose chairman, Derin Adebiyi, accused Mr Oshiomhole of plotting to impose a candidate on Ogun.

Primium Times reported that the two parties (Ogun APC and NWC primary committee) refused to work together eventually resulting to the conduct of two parallel governorship primaries in Ogun.

As expected, the Ogun APC loyal to Mr Amosun declared Mr Akinlabi winner of its governorship primary.

However, the Muhammed Ndabawa-led electoral committee declared another aspirant, Dapo Abiodun, winner of the governorship primary it conducted.

Both primaries were conducted same day, Wednesday.
