Insider told us that the governor said; “Rather than the NWC iron out the issue of the governorship, he was asked to share the national and state assemblies tickets with certain group of individuals, who, according to him, did not participate in both the governorship and legislative primaries.”

“The governor berated those he termed ‘Abujaconnection APC, for standing rules of the primary election on its head and produced Dapo Abiodun as the party’s candidate instead of Akinlade, who emerged through a direct primary.”

“Amosun made it clear that he could not work with Dapo Abiodun, who he said lacked the wherewithal to win a senatorial district, let alone the whole of Ogun State, insisting he would rather bid APC goodbye rather than accept his candidacy.”
