Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A three-time governorship candidate in Ogun State, Gboyega Isiaka; and a three-time member of the House of Representatives, Abiodun Akinlade; appear to have ceded the Ogun West senatorial ticket to Lagos West Senator, Olamilekan Adeola.<\/p>\n

Adeola had picked the nomination form of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to vie for the Ogun West senatorial seat, even while still representing Lagos West.<\/p>\n

This has since generated issues between Adeola and the likes of Isiaka and Akinlade, who also obtained the Ogun West senatorial forms under the same party.<\/p>\n

On different occasions, Isiaka had dragged Adeola, describing him as a non-indigene plotting to hijack what does not belong to him.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that elders in Ogun West went up in arms with one another over Adeola\u2019s ambition.<\/p>\n

While a group of elders said the Senator was not qualified to contest in Ogun West, another set of elders insisted that Adeola must be allowed to contest for Yewa-Awori senatorial seat while still holding the mandate of Lagos West.<\/p>\n

But, a drama ensued at Friday\u2019s APC House of Representatives primary when the duo of Isiaka and Akinlade, who were senatorial aspirants, were handed the tickets.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent reports that Isiaka was given the ticket of Egbado North and Imeko\/Afon Federal Constituency, while Akinlade received that of Egbado South and Ipokia Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n

Inside sources said the duo had accepted to run for House of Representatives in order to clear the coast for Adeola, whom they once addressed as a \u2018foreigner\u2019.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the battle for the Ogun West seat is between the incumbent Senator Tolu Odebiyi and his colleague from Lagos State.<\/p>\n
