2027: Eyeball to Eyeball Confrontation in Ogun State
The Ogun State High Court intervened to prevent the demolition of Senator Gbenga Daniel's private residence and hotel by the state government, issuing an ex parte order barring any tampering pending further court proceedings. The tension arose from the state government's insistence on demolishing the properties, with Senator Daniel suggesting political motives behind the move.
The ongoing feud between Governor Abiodun and Senator Daniel, both from the APC, dates back to the 2023 elections, where Abiodun defeated Daniel's candidate. The situation escalated when the governor issued a quit order for the properties, leading to accusations of abuse of power and political weaponization.
Civil society organizations have called for intervention to resolve the conflict and investigate the legality of the demolition threat. The court case has been adjourned until August 19, 2025, with implications for the upcoming 2027 elections in Ogun State.
