Sources familiar with the situation told this reporter that aspirants linked to the three dominant camps within the party, those loyal to Governor Dapo Abiodun, former governor Gbenga Daniel, and ex-governor Ibikunle Amosun, are now in a state of uncertainty as multiple lists from the exercises circulate, each claiming legitimacy. Elder statesman Olusegun Osoba has largely kept his distance from the brewing storm.
While Abiodun’s faction reportedly held on to ward and local government executives in areas under his influence, the Daniel and Amosun blocs went ahead with their own separate congresses, compiling independent lists which they submitted to the congress committee chairman, Mr. Wale Ohu.
Ohu flatly denied receiving more than one set of results. “As far as APC in Ogun State is concerned, there is one APC and there is one congress,” he said. “We only recognised the congresses held in the approved venues.” He added that he was headed to Abuja to submit a single list, dismissing reports of alternative submissions.
