One of the four Oyo APC chairmanship aspirants, Alhaji Abu Gbadamosi and his supporters are conspicuously missing in an ongoing meeting of party leaders from Oke-Ogun Zone 1.

This paper gathered that Alhaji Abu accused Oladokun of scheming to force his personal assistant, Mr. Dele Akinleye on party members in Oke-Ogun Zone 1, though the former deputy governor countered the Ilero-born politician.
