The Governor of Ogun State, PDapo Abiodun, Tuesday met behind- closed doors at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta  with a former governor, Gbenga Daniel, and the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ogun,  Gboyega Isiaka.

 Abiodun also held a meeting with some leaders of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by the state Chairman,  Bayo Dayo.

Neither Abiodun nor his visitors revealed the purpose of their meetings to newsmen but it was gathered  their meeting might not be unconnected to the submission of nominees for appointment as Commissioners.

 It would be recalled that has last week promised to release his list of Commissioners soon; promising an all-inclusive government.
It would also be recalled that Daniel, few days to the governorship election, directed all his followers to vote for Abiodun  and he and he followers later defected from the PDP to the APC after the general elections.

On the other hand, there are rumours making the round that Isiaka of the ADC, Senator Buruji Kashamu of the PDP and some other governorship candidates in Ogun, worked for Abiodun’s victory in the March 9 election in the state.

 Based on this, the governor, it was gathered, has decided to compensate those who stood up for him during the election by giving them the opportunity to be in his cabinet; a decision he said did not go down well with leaders of the APC.

It was also gathered that the duo of Daniel and Isiaka, as well as the PDP leaders were in the governor’s office to present their lists of Commissioner nominees.

Meanwhile, the PDP is of the view that Abiodun would perform well as during his tenure in the state.

Speaking after meeting the governor, the party Chairman lauded him for accommodating opposition members.

Dayo was accompanied by  Robert Adenaike,  Kola Sorinola and Dr Remi Bakare, who was the Director-General of Senator Buruji Kashamu’s 2019 governorship campaign.
