Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole, has emerged the biggest casualty in the ongoing display of list of candidates for the April elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Bankole is one of the victims of a factional fight that has been raging in Ogun State
Governor Gbenga Daniel leads a faction in the state, while former President Olusegun Obasanjo is on the driver’s seat of the other.
Daniel, who is running for the Ogun East Senatorial seat, lost to Muhammed Tayir Adetunji; Bankole, who is seeking a return to the National Assembly, lost his bid to Mr. Peter Olusegun Alawode.
Daughter of late Bashorun MKO Abiola, Mrs. Lola Abiola-Edewor, eyeing the Ogun Central senatorial seat also lost her senatorial bid to the incumbent, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello.
