Reading through a recent discussion on power-sharing among the major zones in Ogun State, one cannot help but attempt to set the record straight. Why all this controversy sef?
The decision to aspire and throw one’s hat into the political ring to govern a politically sophisticated state like Ogun comes with deep considerations for success—except, of course, if the person just wan “test water for seresere” or pursue some hidden agenda based on faint calculations.

The Sacred Principle of PSPS
For the sake of equitable power-sharing among the major zones (Ijebu/Remo and Egba/Egbado), the founding fathers of Ogun State established the Pendulum Shift Power Sharing (PSPS) arrangement. This system ensures peaceful and smooth political transitions every 8 years (two terms) unless disrupted by military intervention.
