2019: Oil magnate, Dapo Abiodun, joins Ogun governorship race

OIL magnate and real estate guru, Mr. Dapo Abiodun, has declared his intention to run for the governorship seat of the state in the 2019 general elections, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Abiodun, the chairman of Corporate Affairs Commission, at a news conference on Thursday, described zoning of political positions as unconstitutional.

Tribune Online recalled that the State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and the party in the state had zoned the governorship slot to the Ogun West Senatorial District, which had not produced a governor in the 42 years history of the state.

He said the resolve of Amosun and the party to zone any position to the senatorial district was not equitable argument to advance.

Abiodun explained that the state had two major divisions, that is, the Egba/Egbado and Ijebu/Remo Divisions and that by arrangement, the two are expected to produce the state governor.

“There are two divisions in the state. We have the Egba division which is the Egba/Egbado division and the Ijebu/Remo Division. And it has also come to the understanding that when things come to one division, it’s appropriated within that division. So it came to Ijebu division and they decided on where whoever occupies that office emerges from. It also goes to the Egba division and the Egbas decided on who emerges from that division.
