Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, and his predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, yesterday traded words over the state’s development plan.
Amosun, while speaking at a campaign rally of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accused Abiodun of derailing from the state’s development plan in the last four years.
He said, “We have set the path of development for Ogun State, we must not allow it to be derailed.”
He also accused his successor of spending N3bn to renovate one of the 15 model schools his administration built with N650m.

Reacting to the allegations, Abiodun said Amosun was known for “dishing out putrid lies all the time”.
Abiodun, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, said, “It is a shame that the former governor does not know the difference between converting an abandoned project to a socially desirable tech hub at this age and time.
“Rather than applauding the ingenuity of Gov Abiodun for converting the moribund model school to a functional tech hub within three weeks of assuming office, Amosun is resorting to blackmail.”
