Abiodun, who claimed that the governor refused his demands, urged people to consider his own emergence as the APC governorship candidate as the will of God. He said: “Let nobody thinks that we are not sensitive to the long time yearnings of Ogun West to also produce governor for the state. As a very strong believer in this cause, I personally took your son, Senator Adeola to Governor Amosun, begged and prostrated for him to support his governorship ambition but he refused.

“That I am the governorship candidate of APC today in our dear state remains a testimony of God’s awesomeness and that He is the only one who has the power to enthrone.” Abiodun, who hails from Iperu-Remo in Ogun East zone, assured traditional rulers in Ogun West that he would not operate a sectional government should he emerge as governor of the state in 2019.
