Dapo Abiodun is a businessman-politician whose route to office ran through finance and energy-sector enterprise before the Ogun governorship. His 2023 re-election mattered because it kept Ogun in APC hands in a competitive contest, and his continuing relevance comes from the way Ogun sits between Lagos influence, South-West party management, and a coming open succession race.
Ogun's second-term governor and one of the APC's key South-West incumbents. He is not on a 2027 ballot for another governorship run, but his political weight will shape Ogun succession and wider regional coalition work.
