Dapo Abiodun and Gbenga Daniel Clash Over Senate Bid

Dapo Abiodun, the current governor of Ogun State, and Gbenga Daniel, a former governor, are in a political supremacy battle. Daniel, who previously supported Abiodun's gubernatorial bid, is now aiming to return to the Senate.
Tensions escalated after Daniel's claim of full endorsement from Bola Tinubu, which Abiodun disputes. The political landscape has shifted, with Daniel, at 70 years old, asserting his right to seek a Senate seat despite previously agreeing not to pursue it.
The rivalry has intensified as Abiodun's tenure nears its end, leading to a potential conflict over political power and endorsements. The situation is complicated by Daniel's past support for Tinubu, which he leveraged to gain political ground.
The dynamics of their relationship and the implications for Ogun State politics remain contentious.
