Inside Abiodun’s Cash-and-Carry Bid for Ogun East Senate Seat

Governor Dapo Abiodun has mobilized financial inducements for over 400 attendees at the Adeola Odutola Event Hall in Ijebu Ode. Envelopes calibrated to each recipient’s political weight aim to manufacture grassroots consent. This operation is designed to predetermine the APC primary outcome in Ogun East. The governor allegedly uses state resources and intimidation to secure his own senatorial ticket and fill other National Assembly slots with loyalists. Party leaders across the six local government areas report threats of arrest or loss of appointments if they refuse to back his handpicked candidates. Critics warn that trading senatorial seniority for personal ambition could weaken Ogun East’s influence in the Senate. Stakeholders are now pushing back and demanding a transparent primary. They say the real verdict will be delivered at the ballot, not in an envelope.
