Across political platforms in Ogun State, one of the issues that has gained traction is the running battle between the state’s governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and a former governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who is currently representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the Senate.
Until recently, their feud was discussed in hushed tones. It has now become a full-blown political duel, exposing the deep fault lines in the Ogun All Progressives Congress (APC).
Initially, both political gladiators had publicly denied plotting against each other, but the political undercurrents and a flurry of recent confrontations suggest otherwise. The trigger, according to insiders, is the Ogun East Senatorial seat currently held by Daniel, which Abiodun is reportedly eyeing, as his tenure ends in 2027.
