The All Progressives Congress (APC) may not have a governorship candidate in Ogun  State in the 2019 general elections. This Day Newspaper article reveals.

In the article published by the newspaper, it was learnt that, Dapo Abiodun, who is the governorship candidate of the party might be consumed by the allegations of perjury and NYSC evasion levied against him in different courts.

The paper however asserted that Jimi Lawal could not benefit from Dapo Abiodun's disqualification since he did not believe in the October 3 primary election that produced him. 

Recall that Jimi Lawal had gone to court, asking for the cancellation of the primary election that produced Abiodun. He said no election was held that day.

In this report of This Day Newspaper , it was read:

Following the charge that Mr. Dapo Abiodun was economical with the truth in the latest details he submitted in INEC FORM 001, the chances that he might still fly his party’s flag in the governorship elections in Ogun State appears uncertain. 

But the big question is: can Mr. Jimi Lawal, Abiodun’s main traducer, who was believed to have exposed the scandal, profit from his predicament? 

For Mr. Dapo Abiodun, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, this is not the best of time, politically. A raging storm with the potential to engulf his political ambition and indeed career appears to be encircling him even as it stretches his political sagacity to the limits.

Matter-of-factly, if the allegations against him are true as it is looking like, only a political solution could save his skin. That is if the APC apparatchik and the federal government play by the rule and allow the course of law to run without the slightest interference whatsoever.

The latest political storm threatening to consume his ambition to govern the state is certainly fiercer than the one he weathered to clinch the Ogun State governorship ticket of the APC...
