Governor Amosun Loses As APC Affirms Dapo Abiodun Winner of Ogun Governorship Primary

Hours after Adams Oshiomhole met with the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, and a portion of his kindred governors, the APC central command gave a decision against the Ogun senator's enthusiasm, as indicated by a report by Premium Times. 


Review that the APC in Ogun, driven by Mr. Amosun, had received Adekunle Akinlabi, a government official, as its 'accord' governorship hopeful regardless of the descent of a few different wannabes. 

At the point when the APC National Working Committee, driven by Mr. Oshiomhole, dispatched a governorship essential council to the express, 

the board had a pained association with the Ogun APC whose administrator, Derin Adebiyi, blamed Mr. Oshiomhole for plotting to force a competitor on Ogun. 

The two gatherings (Ogun APC and NWC essential board) declined to cooperate in the end coming about to the direction of two parallel governorship primaries in Ogun. 

Obviously, the Ogun APC faithful to Mr. Amosun announced Mr. Akinlabi victor of its governorship essential. 

Be that as it may, the Muhammed Ndabawa-drove discretionary panel proclaimed another hopeful, Dapo Abiodun, victor of the governorship essential it led. 

The two primaries were directed same day, Wednesday. 

By Thursday, Mr. Amosun joined around seven other APC governors in Abuja to challenge the direct of primaries in their states. The issues every one of the governors had with the primaries generally varied from the other. 

For instance, while the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai's concern was the programmed ticket allowed an APC representative, Shehu Sani, by the NWC, Mr. Amosun's concern was fundamental with the questionable governorship primaries. 

The wronged governors met with both Mr. Oshiomhole and prior with President Muhammadu Buhari. 

Anyway, on Thursday night, the APC NWC discharged a progression of proclamations one of which pronounced help for the Ogun governorship essential directed by its board of trustees. 

The NWC insisted Dapo Abiodun as the victor of its governorship primaries. 

The gathering said this in the announcement by its exposure secretary, Yekini Nabena 

Mr. Abiodun won with 102,305 votes while his adversaries Jimi Lawal scored 51,153, Kunle Akinlade – 23, 443, Bimbo Ashiru – 29, 764, Adegbenga Kaka – 17, 771 and Abayomi Koroto – 9, 610. 

"The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) declares Mr. Dapo Abiodun as the victor of the Party's Ogun State governorship primaries. Abiodun won the essential race in the wake of scoring 102,305 votes," Mr. Nabena said. 

It isn't yet clear what move Mr. Amosun will make with the most recent declaration.
