The crisis generated by the 2019 governorship election in Ogun State seems to be aggravating with no end in sight.
This is as Former Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State met with his successor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and his predecessor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, at an event in Ogun on Saturday, but the trio refused to greet each other.
It was the 95th birthday of Prince Babatunde Onafowokan, the CEO of Ladgroup, held at the Anglican Church, Ikenne in Ogun.
The three of them used to be friends from time immemorial.
The friendship between Daniel and Amosun became sour in 2007 when they contested against each other.
In 2011, Amosun succeeded in uprooting Daniel of the PDP by defeating his anointed candidate, Gboyega Isiaka. That was when Daniel went into political hibernation.
Then, Abiodun and Amosun were still friends as he used to get contracts from Amosun and even contested under him as Senator, but lost to Kashamu.
In 2019, Abiodun ran to Daniel to help him to become governor of Ogun because of the stiff opposition from Amosun.
Amosun supported Adekunle Akinlade, who he said was robbed of the APC primary election by the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC).
Today, Abiodun is the governor and Gbenga Daniel is his closest friend.
The irony of the whole issue is that the three of them ended up being governors of Ogun, but when will this enmity end.
It’s hightime leaders Of Ogun like Olusegun Obasanjo rise up to the situation.
