Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has declared interest to contest for the Ogun East Senatorial seat in the Red Chamber.

He disclosed this on Tuesday night during a meeting of Ogun East Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Iperu Remo.

At the meeting were Senator Adegbenga Kaka, Senator Lekan Mustapha, the Senatorial chairman, Otunba Adeleke Adedotun and other notable leaders of the party.

Recall that Abiodun was endorsed by the leaders of the party in the Senatorial district during a meeting held recently in Ijebu-Ode, where he was adopted as the consensus candidate of the party.

The governor’s declaration is coming hours after the incumbent, Senator Gbenga Daniel, picked the nomination and expression of interest forms to seek reelection into the upper legislative house.

Abiodun, while addressing the meeting, promised to give the people of Ogun East quality representation at the Senate.

He said, “When you gave me the mandate of Ogun State, I have never disappointed you. I want to assure you that I will offer Ogun East the best representation ever in the history of the Red Chamber. I want to promise you that I will offer the district the best representation.

“I will not be a back bencher. I will not be a person that will get there to just look. I will offer good representation to the good people of Ogun East, so help me God.”
