The Ogun State gubernatorial election promises to be one of the most tightly contested in Nigeria.Three candidates,Senator Ibikunle Amosun of ACN,Tunji Olurin of PDP and Gboyega Isiaka of PPN are the chief contestants.Remember governor Gbenga Daniel is supporting Isiaka of PPN,after his anointed candidate was removed by the PDP.
On evidence of the National Assembly results,ACN look better placed to clinch it,as it would in Oyo state.Even Baba Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo now knows.No wonder he took time out to call Amosun ''my blood brother'' and even declared he had all it took to move Ogun forward.So where does that leave Olurin,his candidate?
Something tells me OBJ's problem is not how to stop ACN winning Ogun,but how to clip the wings of Gbenga Daniel(with so much emotion,he told the people how much Gbenga had insulted him).And it would be clipped.Nobody sees PPN winning,even if 12 political parties endorse them,as is the case.
All our questions are set to be answered in some hours.But we already know where Baba stands,and that is 'Gbenga must go...'
