Abiodun, Amosun clash as Remi Tinubu inaugurates Buhari Estate today

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and his predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, have been at odds over the history and ownership of the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate in Abeokuta. With First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu set to inaugurate the estate today, the dispute has intensified. While Abiodun claims to have "rescued" the estate from potential loss, settled contractor disputes, and transformed it into a modern 108-unit residential community, Amosun dismisses this as a "political narrative deliberately constructed upon a false premise."

The estate, originally known as the Three Hills Estate, was conceived during Amosun's administration as a Three-Arms residential zone for the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary. Abiodun's Special Adviser on Information, Kayode Akinmade, stated that the project was inherited in poor condition, with only infrastructure completed and one show building.

The Abiodun administration says they intervened to settle the dispute and secure the state's interest, while Amosun insists the estate was largely completed under his tenure, with infrastructure worth N3.5 billion already in place. The former governor also questions the fate of existing plot holders and the location of the 108 units being commissioned.
