Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun says he was warned against supporting Gbenga Daniel for the Senate ahead of the 2023 general election. Abiodun says the advice came with concerns that Daniel might later turn against him politically.
Both reports say Abiodun went ahead with the decision despite the warnings, framing his disclosure as an account of the lead-up to his support for Daniel’s Senate bid. The outlets present the same core claim: that Abiodun received political warnings related to the possibility of future opposition, but he nonetheless backed Daniel in the election.
While the reports differ slightly in wording, they align on the timing (2023), the individuals involved (Abiodun and Daniel), and the substance of Abiodun’s account: he says he ignored or chose not to heed warnings before supporting Daniel for the Senate.
