Former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, is set to declare his interest in running for president under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress.

According to sources, the senator representing Ogun central is expected to announce his presidential bid at an event scheduled to take place on May 5.

“Everything is set. He will formally declare his bid on May 5,” a source said.

All thing being equal, he will be challenging the likes of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, Rochas Okorocha, David Umahi, Yahaya Bello, Rotimi Amaechi for the party’s presidential ticket.

Amosun’s reported interest in the presidency comes three years after he was a major feature in the news over the controversy in his state in the build-up to the 2019 governorship election.

The former governor, at the end of his second term in office, had supported Adekunle Akinlade for the APC’s governorship ticket in the 2019 election but the latter lost the party’s primary to Dapo Abiodun.


Following the loss, Akinlade defected to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and became the governorship candidate of the party. The APM, however, lost the election and Akinlade has since rejoined the APC.



Meanwhile, the APC national working committee (NWC) at the time suspended Amosun for “anti-party activities” days before the 2019 governorship election. Months afterwards, the NWC lifted the suspension.

Every politician's mind.

even this one that cannot even construct road in ogun state.

Amosun is not suit to contest for president but since it is matter of zoning , he can contest even if he cannot win his own local Government.

Forgot about zoning , throw the ticket open to all aspirants.

As predicted.. Better for him to start positioning himself in the next governmenr cos this should be his last time of vying for any political post in Ogun state

It will be very hard for him to get the return ticket to the Senate, now that the party's structure is firmly in the hand of his friend turned adversary, incumbent Dapo Abiodun.

Is there a particular prestige attached to being a former presidential aspirant?
