With 2011 elections approaching, FRANCIS FALOLA writes that disunity, which has been the bane of the Yewa/Awori in Ogun State, may dash the hope of the people to produce the next governor.
Since the creation of Ogun State in 1976, nobody from the Ogun West Senatorial District has governed the state. Several efforts made during past political dispensations by people of the district, which comprises Yewa and Awori, to clinch the governorship position were abortive due to the seeming lack of unity among the people of the area.

The elite from Yewa/Awori have started a campaign aimed at ensuring that an indigene of the district succeeds Daniel.
