Daniel, Amosun absent as Ogun APC leaders back Tinubu

Ogun APC leaders convened a strategic meeting without key figures Daniel and Amosun, showing strong support for Tinubu's leadership.

A significant meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State took place at the June 12 Cultural Centre in Abeokuta, aimed at reinforcing support for President Bola Tinubu. Notably absent were two prominent figures in the party, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, current Senator for Ogun East, and former governor Ibikunle Amosun, raising questions about the unity among party leaders. The meeting was presided over by Governor Dapo Abiodun and included various influential members, indicating a consolidated front for Tinubu's administration.

The gathering saw the attendance of several former state leaders, including Chief Olusegun Osoba and four previous deputy governors, which highlights the continuing political maneuvering within the Ogun APC. This meeting serves as an essential platform for the party to showcase its alignment with the federal leadership and to possibly strategize for upcoming elections. The presence of federal ministers, such as Dr. Bosun Tijani and Dr. Kunle Salako, underscores the APC's commitment to fostering strong relationships between state and national levels.

The absence of Daniel and Amosun could signal underlying tensions within the APC in Ogun State, as both have significant political bases and influence. Their non-participation may indicate a fracture or differing allegiances that could impact the party's cohesion moving forward. With various stakeholders present at the meeting, understanding the political dynamics and implications of these divisions will be critical as the APC navigates its future in Ogun State and nationally.
