Ogun East APC Ticket: Is Dapo Abiodun Fit for the Senate?
The APC senatorial primary in Ogun East is shifting from mere name recognition to real suitability. In many contests incumbency can muzzle rivals. But executive power alone does not guarantee success in a legislature. A senator must build consensus, negotiate across divides, and sustain alliances. The Senate rewards persuasion over command. Committee work depends on collaboration, not directives. Governor Dapo Abiodun’s tenure has been marked by friction with predecessors and party stakeholders. Persistent tensions raise questions about his collaborative temperament. A state office demands unity, but his record suggests recurring estrangement. Comparisons with Ekiti and Ondo show how strategic inclusion can foster stability. Ogun delegates and voters must choose between executive assertion and relational leadership. Effective representation in the National Assembly requires a bridge-builder, not a barrier-maker.
