ABEOKUTA — In a major political development expected to reshape the power dynamics of Ogun State, former Governor Ibikunle Amosun is set to formally declare his intention to return to the National Assembly to represent the Ogun Central Senatorial District. The declaration is scheduled for today, Sunday, January 25, 2026, strategically coinciding with the Senator’s 68th birthday celebrations. Sources within the former Governor’s political circle describe the event as a dual-purpose gathering intended for both religious thanksgiving and a definitive political statement ahead of the 2027 general elections. The event, described as a religious thanksgiving and political statement, is highly anticipated within Ogun State's political landscape. Sources close to the former governor have confirmed the dual purpose of the gathering. It is seen as a strategic move ahead of the 2027 general elections. While Senator Amosun is currently a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), there is considerable speculation regarding his future political platform. Multiple reports suggest a potential move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This potential shift has been linked to discussions involving Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Ishola, former Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and a longtime political ally of Senator Amosun. Political observers are closely watching for further developments regarding this potential alliance and its implications for the Ogun State governorship race and other elective positions in the next election cycle. A close aide to Senator Amosun commented on Saturday evening, stating that the senator is prepared to continue his service and provide impactful representation. The aide added that Sunday's event is intended as a launchpad for a movement aimed at "restoring the political dignity of the Ogun people." Senator Amosun previously served as the Senator representing Ogun Central before his two terms as governor from 2011 to 2019. His potential return to the senatorial race under a different party banner would represent a significant challenge to the incumbent APC structure in the state. As of Sunday morning, the Ogun State chapter of the APC has not publicly commented on the impending declaration or the rumors of Senator Amosun's potential party defection. Political analysts are closely monitoring the situation, suggesting that a potential Amosun-Ishola alliance under the ADC could create a notable opposition force in the state, potentially influencing electoral dynamics across the Egba and Yewa regions.
