Since the Saturday, October 16, 2021 state congress of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, the intrigues in the battle for the party structure and political relevance in the state between the incumbent governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and his predecessor in office, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, who currently represents Ogun Central in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Although, there were parallel state congresses organised by loyalists of the governor and Senator Amosun, the leadership of the APC’s Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) appears to be more at home with the governor’s side, which it sent representatives to supervise and which was monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
