DR. COMRADE NIYI-OSOBA Ph.D (pictured above), formerly a staunch supporter of Ladi Adebutu, has announced his decision to switch allegiances to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and support a candidate from Ogun West for the 2027 gubernatorial race.
Citing dissatisfaction with Adebutu's leadership style and a belief that Ogun East Senatorial district should not have a stake in the 2027 race, Niyi-Osoba, former State Chairman , Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), made his intentions clear during a recent consultation meeting with Senator Olamilekan Solomon Adeola (Yayi).
This move reportedly infuriated Adebutu, who had previously offered Niyi Osoba a Sienna space wagon as compensation for his years of service and for stepping down from contesting a national delegate election in 2022.
In response to Niyi Osoba's decision, Adebutu retracted the offer of the vehicle, leading to speculation about strains in their relationship and the implications for Adebutu's political ambitions.
Niyi Osoba's decision to support an Ogun West candidate is significant, as it could signal a shift in power dynamics within the state ahead of the 2027 elections.
