Former Governor of Ogun State and All Progress Congress chieftain in Ogun State, Aremo Segun Osoba, is not happy about the ongoing contention between two of his successors, the incumbent governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun and Gbenga Daniels, a former governor of the state and senator elect for Ogun East.
Osoba is making frantic efforts to end the cold war between the two. Osoba decided to broker peace between Abiodun and Daniel after Abiodun refused to celebrate Daniel when he marked his birthday on April 6th, 2023. Abiodun and his aides did not give the former Governor the usual recognition given to party chieftains, political leaders, associates, and appointees on their special day.
It was gathered that the APC chieftain has tried to intervene in the matter. He spoke with both parties, urging them to sheathe their swords and work together toward the prosperity of the state. His efforts have so far yielded positive results as the two parties have stopped their open hostilities.
The disagreement between Abiodun and Daniel started in 2019 during Abiodun’s first tenure as governor of the state. Daniel was one of the people who supported him to become the governor, but he turned his back at Daniel after his election by abandoning the multibillion project Daniel had started. He also betrayed Daniel when he signified interest in seeking for the Ogun West senatorial seat under the platform of the All Progress Congress, APC. Abiodun neglected him and supported the secretary to the state government, Tokunbo Talabi at the party primary.
