Ex-PDP Aspirant Wins PRP Governorship Ticket In Ogun
Professor David Bamgbose has emerged as the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) governorship candidate in Ogun State.
Naija News understand that Bamgbose was an aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before he suddenly defected to the PRP. Prior to his defection, Bamgbose had relinquished his governorship ambition to settle for the Ogun West senatorial ticket. He won the PDP senatorial ticket but subsequently announced his withdrawal from the race, ceding the Ogun West ticket to Ganiyu Dada from Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area. Bamgbose has since pledged his allegiance to PRP. Speaking with journalists on Monday in Ogun, the politician said he was “forced to withdraw from the senatorial race by some leaders of the party in Ogun.” The professor expressed optimism that the PRP would take over Ogun State in 2023. He said: “I stand as a better choice for the people of Ogun State in the forthcoming 2023 general election in all ramifications.” He urged the people of Ogun State to vote for him in the next election.
