A former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and the incumbent Senator, representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola are at logger head, following an allegation of project diversion by Amosun.

Amosun, in a statement signed by his media aide, Lanre Akinwale, had accused Senator Adeola of project diversion, when a Library project at Ewang Estate Extension, Abeokuta, facilitated by Senator Olamilekan Adeola had the inscription tagged, Renovation of Ake Pavilion Roofing and other Facilities, Ogun State.

Senator Adeola, however denied any case of project diversion as insinuated by Amosun, based on the inscription on the signpost at the completed Library project.

Senator Adeola explained that there was a budget inclusion for the renovation of Ake Pavilion, following appeals from well meaning sons and daughters of Egbaland to complete the project that was abandoned for a period, not knowing that it was a personal project of Senator Amosun.

Akinwale, however stated that the Ake Pavilion Project was done from Amosuns personal resources, and not a constituency project while in office, adding that he was surprised when a Library project, facilitated by Senator Adeola had the inscription tagged, Renovation of Ake Pavilion Roofing and other Facilities, Ogun State.
