Ogun APC Crisis Deepens as Ibikunle Amosun Reportedly Plots PDP Defection Amid Party Rejection
A fresh political storm is brewing in Ogun State as former governor and senator, Ibikunle Amosun, is reportedly considering a move to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) following mounting resistance within the All Progressives Congress (APC). The development comes amid growing indications that the former governor may struggle to secure the party’s senatorial ticket ahead of the forthcoming primaries.
Sources within the Ogun APC revealed that Amosun’s influence has significantly declined, with key stakeholders and aspirants rejecting any attempt to present him as a consensus candidate. Party leaders are said to have raised concerns over his past political actions, alleging that his moves during previous elections weakened party unity and electoral chances.
The report further suggests that Amosun’s alleged plan to explore the PDP may be a strategic effort to retain political relevance and avoid a potential defeat at the APC primaries. His political history, which includes past alignments outside party structures during critical elections, has reportedly fueled distrust among party faithful, many of whom are now rallying behind alternative aspirants.
While there has been no official confirmation from Amosun regarding these claims, the speculation continues to gain traction within political circles. Observers believe that any eventual defection could reshape the political dynamics in Ogun Central, especially as the race for the senatorial seat becomes increasingly competitive.
