The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has adopted Adekunle Akinlade as its governorship candidate for next year’s election.


In reaction, a governorship aspirant of the party, Dapo Abiodun, faulted the adoption.

The party on Thursday presented Mr Akinlade, a member of the House of Representatives for Egbado South and Ipokia federal constituency in Ogun West senatorial district, as its candidate.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Ogun APC announced that all the candidates of the party for the general elections would be chosen by consensus.

The Chairman of the party in Ogun, Derin Adebiyi, who presented Mr Akinlade at the party secretariat in Abeokuta on Thursday, congratulated the candidate and the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, who he said heeded the clamour by Ogun West to produce the next governor of the state.

“Our governor is used by God for the benefit of Ogun West in the choice of the candidate. I will also call on other aspirants to support the chosen candidate, and we should also know that whatever God has written nobody can change it’, Mr Adebiyi said.

He stressed that in every contest, “somebody must win,” and appealed to other aspirants and party supporters to start working towards the success of the party in the general elections.

LADI ADEBUTU ALL THE WAY!!!

Unfortunately for Ladi, the loud sentiment in Ogun State is that It’s the turn of the West district. The Egbas in the Central zone will go with the west zone

Lado will not be Ogun state Governor, not in 100years
