As the Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, flagged off his re-election campaign before an unprecedentedly massive crowd in Imeko-Afon Local
Government Area of the state last week, with a promise not to relent on his developmental strides, watchers of Ogun politics could not but marvel. Accompanied on the campaign tour by chieftains of the All Progressives Congress led by a former governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Osoba, the governor and the campaign train traversed Afon, Ilara and Imeko communities, received by a mammoth crowd ready to make his second term dream a reality.
Osoba, on his part, enthused that his trip to Imeko-Afon was a homecoming, recalling that it was his administration that provided electricity in the region. “I am happy to be here again because I brought electricity to the entire region during my tenure. This is homecoming for me. I told Governor Abiodun to emulate me and he’s doing that. I am convinced that he’s capable, so let us vote for him and all APC candidates.
Things were so bad that when President Muhammadu Buhari visited the state on a campaign tour, the event was disrupted and stones were hauled at him. The president and his entourage were embarrassed and left the podium at the MKO Abiola stadium, Abeokuta, in palpable discomfiture. It was a show of shame that will not be forgotten in a hurry.
