Amosun and Bankole are using it as leverage to get Ogun Central Senatorial seat

Others have three reasons

Yes

Do you know that Emiefele is contesting for Minister of Finance in the next APC government? He is using his leverage as CBN Governor who knows most politicians financial secrets as a bait.

All those presidential aspirations are indirect application for ministerial or ambassadorial posts. Some are angling for juice post as chairman of money spinning agencies and parastatals.

Yes.
Mainly financial gains and political posts or business contracts.
Those that bought those forms at the rate of #100 Million can step down for a more influential candidate.
Only if the influential candidate pay them off with a huge amount of money, say #200 million and above.
Have you seen the politician that bought the 100 M form just made doule that amount?
Or the influential politician can offer a political post or juicy business contract to those buying the forms at 100 M.
Politics sweet o

Amosun and Bankole are using it as leverage to get Ogun Central Senatorial seat

Others have three reasons

Bankole is only positioning himself for the 2027 Ogun guber.

Amosun should just forget about contesting for the Ogun senatorial seat this time... He has lost Apc structure in Ogun

Indirect form of donating to the party for one favour or the other
