Femi Ogbonnikan writes on the intrigues that have characterised the aftermath of the March 9 governorship election in Ogun State
Sadly, the governor has rejected the popular axiom that those who live in a glass house should not throw stones. From his Ibara, Abeokuta Housing Estate expansive Glass House, Amosun is throwing stones at Abiodun. Despite entreaties from well-meaning Nigerians, particularly those in Ogun State, to eat the humble pie, the outgoing governor, has remained ambivalent and elected to fight the titanic battle, by hook and crook, not minding whose ox is gored.
While berating the outgoing governor for his reluctance, an Owode-Egba-based, Ogun State, social commentator, Ola Muritala, in an open letter to Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on his Facebook account titled, “When Will Amosun Inaugurate Transition Committee?” Wrote, “Undoubtedly, government is a continuum and goes with the rules of actions, which serve as element for progress and change.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission , after declaring Prince Dapo Abiodun as the clear winner of the gubernatorial election held in the State on the 9th of March, 2019, went ahead to present him a Certificate of Return on March 28, 2019 and will be sworn-in on May 29, 2019. “Few days ago, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State inaugurated a transition committee and charged members to ensure a smooth hand-over to the newly elected governor of the state, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Also, erstwhile Special Assistant on political matters to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr Gbolade Oshinowo, in an exclusive chat, noted that the stance of the outgoing governor is a sad reflection of his resistance to the in-coming administration of Dapo Abiodun.

I hope dabiodunMFR hasn't started to miscalculate. Abati shouldn't be an early pick in any role for the incoming govt. But what can I say? What do I know?

Graduate jailed for impersonation in Ogun – Daily TrustA Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta on Wednesday jailed a graduate of Economics from a public university in Southwest Nigeria...
