2027 Tension in Abeokuta North: Oke-Ogun Leaders Clash Over Political Representation

Fresh cracks are emerging within Abeokuta North’s Oke-Ogun community after a recent meeting of party and community leaders. An undercover investigation reveals deep grievances over political representation, appointment distribution, and the upcoming House of Assembly race. Attended by leaders and party faithful from various wards, the gathering aimed to discuss unity and direction. Some attendees viewed it as a move to rally support for Hon. Tunde Tella’s second-term bid. Accusations flew over alleged vote-buying and lack of grassroots support over the past three years. Concerns also arose about the neglect of Egba indigenes in political appointments. Participants accused the lawmaker of a “divide-and-rule” strategy. Funke Obasami, a female leader at the meeting, urged members to voice their concerns openly rather than accept pacification efforts. Though some leaders worked to calm tensions, subtle declarations of interest surfaced from potential aspirants. With contenders from Gbagura, Oke-Ona, Oke-Ogun, and Owu eyeing the seat, the contest in Abeokuta North is set to intensify in the coming months.
