The desperation of Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, Governor of Ogun State in Ogun East Senatorial District has become glaring.
He has now organized his appointees and those on his monthly payroll to stage a kangaroo endorsement for himself at Ijebu Ode.
The contrast with the Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola “Yayi’s” endorsement last week cannot be missed. At Yayi’s endorsement, all leaders were present, all Former Governors, all serving NASS Members, Ministers from Ogun State, Gboyega Nasir Isiaka (GNI), Tunde Lemo, Adekunle Akinlade and all other governorship aspirants. No leader was shut out. That was why the endorsement succeeded and gaining momentum.
Now DA’s people want to endorse him while shutting out other aspirants. This is a failed attempt from the start. Dapo is not popular, Dapo is unacceptable, Dapo is inaccessible. You cannot force a rejected leader on the people.
One of the major reasons we want OGD back to the Senate for a second term is the Ijebu-Remo State creation. OGD started it, let him finish it. We do not want to start again, no to try and error Leader. We need continuity, not experiments on a matter as sensitive as state creation.
And to Dr. Tunde Diya, Chairman of Odogbolu Local Government, we are not surprised by his attitude. It is in their blood. His father denied us Ijebu State creation with Ijebu Ode as capital in 1996, before General Sani Abacha disgraced him out of power. It is hereditary. Tunde also wants to follow the step of his father to deny Ijebu Ode as capital of the proposed Ijebu-Remo State. He is on mission, but it is failed already.
To Ogun East constituents, be rest assured that OGD is still very much in the race for a second term as Senator. No amount of money or machinery Dapo employed can stop OGD’s second term.
OGD has performed excellently well and we are going to vote for him again for a second term.
Dapo Abiodun should rest a bit after May 29th, 2027. At least OGD waited for 12 years after his tenure as Governor before contesting to be a Senator. Dapo too should just wait for 4 years then come back if he is popular.
Ogun East has decided: OGD for Senate.
Let him finish what he started.
Mr Adebola Odunsi.
