The stake holders refused to attend a meeting called towards this end.
Here is trending report on this development
'Former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, and members of
the All Progressives Congress representing the state in the National
Assembly on Monday shunned a meeting called to adopt the incumbent
Governor Ibikunle Amosun for a second term.
Osoba, who is also a national leader of the ruling APC, along with
the three senators and seven members of the House of Representatives in
the National Assembly, failed to show up at the meeting.
'Amosun, had through his Senior Special Adviser on Political Matters,
Tunji Egbetokun, invited National and state assembly members and local
government councillors as well as party chiefs to a stakeholders meeting
at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta.
The former governor and the federal lawmakers however stayed away
from the meeting, where a mild drama ensued as a faction of the APC in
the state adopted Amosun for a second term.
'Aside Osoba, others absentees from the stakeholders meeting included
Senator Adegbenga Kaka (Ogun East), Senator Gbenga Obadara (Ogun
Central), Senator Akin Odunsi (Ogun West) and seven House of
Representatives members elected on the platform of the APC.
The APC chiefs, who however attended the meeting included the state
Deputy Governor, Mr. Segun Adesegun; the Speaker of the House of
Assembly, Suraj Adekunbi, and his deputy, Tola Banjo.
Also in attendance were Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, Senator Iyabo
Anisulowo, Chief Olu Adebanjo, Chief Dayo Abatan, Mr. Kunle Elegbede and
Chief Samuel Durojaiye.
The meeting started with goodwill messages from Anisulowo, Adebanjo, Chief Samuel Durojaye, Abatan and Elegbede.
The party leaders declared their loyalty to Amosun, soliciting the people’s support for his administration.'
