Abiodun Accused of Sabotaging Ijebu-Remo State Creation

Seyi Bakare addresses the political landscape regarding the proposed creation of Ijebu-Remo State, accusing Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun of single-handedly sabotaging the initiative. The article notes that former Governor Gbenga Daniel has reportedly secured 75 signatures to support the state creation bill, yet Abiodun's influence over the Ogun APC lawmakers is seen as a barrier to progress.

Bakare highlights the lack of verified evidence supporting claims against Abiodun and questions the governor's preparedness in advocating for state creation. The article emphasizes the complexities of the Nigerian constitution regarding state creation, which requires extensive political consensus and involves multiple legislative bodies.

It also mentions that since the return to democratic rule in 1999, no new state has been created in Nigeria, reflecting the difficulties in navigating the political landscape for such initiatives.
