2027: Ogundipe clears air on Ogun ADC governorship ticket

Biodun Ogundipe, a tech expert in Artificial Intelligence, has clarified that there is no controversy regarding his candidacy for the 2027 governorship of Ogun State under the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He claims to be the recognized governorship candidate by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and supported by the ADC leadership. Ogundipe stated that he ran against other candidates, including Jimi Lawal and Marie Odusina, and that the primary process involved counting votes from 18 local government areas. Disputes arose in two local governments, leading to a decision to hold a rerun in those areas. Ogundipe emphasized that the ADC leadership, including National Chairman Senator David Mark, recognizes him as the official candidate. He expressed motivation to enter politics due to concerns over poor governance, insecurity, and underdevelopment in Ogun State.
