Alleged ₦20m Bribe Scandal Rocks APC Senatorial Race in Ado-Odo-Ota

Alleged ₦20m Bribe Scandal Rocks APC Senatorial Race in Ado-Odo-Ota

As the 2027 general election approaches, APC politics in Ado-Odo-Ota is under fire for alleged money politics. A source claims that Hon. Jimoh Ojugbele bribed local leaders with ₦20 million each to secure a consensus ticket for the Ogun West senatorial seat. Reports say the funds were channelled by Chief Segun Ojolowo Ojuko to push fake consensus candidates—including Ojugbele and Chief Olanrewaju Bashorun—before Governor Dapo Abiodun. The Olota of Ota is also said to be involved in lobbying the governor. The state governor has distanced himself from the plot, and other party stakeholders warn that sidelining key local governments could spark resentment. Youth and community leaders question whether some traditional figures have abandoned their roles for financial gain.
