The political landscape of the Nigeria's South-West has further been proven to have left the grip of any godfather in the region. Before the 2011 general elections, we are having three (3) political parties occupying the government houses of the six (6) states region; Lagos- ACN; Ekiti- ACN; Osun- ACN; Ogun- PDP; Oyo- PDP and Ondo- LP.
In 2011, Ogun and Oyo states under the platform of the PDP have their share of Dividend Of Godfatherism (DOG) as the party lost to the ACN. This happened not necessarily because the party have not been able to deliver but their loss was more of that "house divided against itself " due to the pocketing of the party activities by FEW advantaged party chieftains which was characterised with mass decamping of the PDP members to alternative political platforms to achieve their political ambitions.
In Ogun state, a sizeable number of the then ruling PDP decamped to various rivalry political parties: ACN; PPN; LP and other political parties on ground.
