Political manoeuvring and realignment towards the 2015 governorship election in Ogun state, south west Nigeria may have started in earnest as Labour Party in the state has zoned its governorship ticket to Ogun west senatorial district.

At a press briefing in Ilaro, Yewa south local government of the state, party officials and members agreed that this became imperative in order to correct the alleged political marginalization of the zone.

The state party chairman, Bode Simeon noted that in about 40 years of the creation of Ogun state, Ogun west Senatorial district has remained an underdog in the state’s politics and yet to produce the state’s helmsman.

Denies Daniel’s membership of party

The party also denied reports of an alleged issuance of membership card to the former governor of the state; Otunba Gbenga Daniel, whom many believed is set to join the party soon.

Speaking on the alleged romance of the former governor, the party chairman denied his membership, at least for now.
