The All Progressives Congress (APC) Ogun East adopted Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun as its consensus candidate for the Ogun East Senatorial District during a caucus meeting on Monday at Adeola Odutola Hall in Ijebu Ode. The decision was announced by former Senator Lekan Mustapha, with attendees expressing support through voice votes. The party's leadership had invited deputy governors, past and serving local government chairmen, councillors, and members of the state and national assemblies to the emergency stakeholders' meeting. As part of the endorsement, the Ogun East Caucus resolved to pay Abiodun's nomination fee on his behalf. Tensions emerged when incumbent Senator Gbenga Daniel arrived at the venue with a busload of supporters but was denied entry. Security personnel at the gate reportedly refused access because they could not identify the individuals accompanying Daniel in the bus.
