Ogun APC Rift Deepens as Governor Abiodun Reportedly Secures ADC Senate Ticket

Fresh tension in Ogun politics has emerged over claims that Governor Dapo Abiodun quietly obtained a senatorial ticket from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 polls. Party insiders say this fallback plan followed APC national leaders’ refusal to make him a consensus candidate and their insistence on direct primaries. Reports suggest a northern ally within the ADC brokered the deal, surprising many after Abiodun’s low-key approach contrasted sharply with other APC heavyweights. Former governor Gbenga Daniel held a large nomination event, while ex-governor Ibikunle Amosun and Senator Solomon Adeola openly processed their forms. Questions are mounting as Abiodun has not filed any forms or publicly acknowledged his plans. Some warn that a last-minute switch could fracture APC unity just as over 190 Assembly hopefuls gear up for primaries. With submission deadlines approaching and no clear response from the governor’s camp, observers expect the standoff to shape the state’s political landscape in the months ahead.
