It appears Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State is not leaving anything to chance in order to retain the governorship seat for another four years.
Immediately Governor Ademola Adeleke defeated the incumbent Gboyega Oyetola then, Nigerians on the social media called out Abiodun, saying it was his turn to go. However, despite all the governor is doing, his opponents are hellbent on removing hold at the completion of his tenure on May 29, 2023. Another source of worry to the governor is the fact that Adebutu is more or less his kinsman from the same Iperu community. In the February 25 presidential and parliamentary elections, Abiodun lost two of the ballots to the PDP in his polling unit. While he won the presidential election, he lost the senatorial and House of Representatives polls to the PDP. In fact, political thugs had to ‘wade in’ to prevent the votes of the second polling booth at the unit from being counted.
The APC and the Labour Party had earlier dragged Otegbeye to court to stop him from contesting. The judgement of an Abeokuta Federal High Court had once stopped Otegbeye, but since the Ibadan Appeal Court reinstated him as the candidate, Amosun has been leading his campaign to all the nooks and crannies of Ogun State like a rural evangelist preaching the gospel.
