The
crisis in APC Ogun state has taken a different turn as the state
governor, Ibikunle Amosun who is still a member of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), has vowed to work against the party's governorship
candidate, Dapo Abiodun. Recall that Amosun's preferred candidate,
Adekunle Abiodun, lost the party's ticket and eventually defected to
the Allied People’s Movement (APM). Speaking at a stakeholders meeting
of the APC in Abeokuta on Monday December 3rd, Amosun said he was aware
of Akinlade's defection from APC and could not stop it because he felt
the party leaders worked against Akinlade during the party primaries.
Amosun stated he would support Buhari's campaign in the state but would
never support the governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun.“When these
people came, they told me they are leaving the APC, I said ‘no’ but I
couldn’t stop them. In fact, Akinlade has my full support. I am not
going to stop him, everything I have, I will use to support him, let
them try whatever they want to try, we also have our strategies and I am
not going to hide behind one finger.“I remain in APC because that’s
what those people want, they want us to leave APC but they are joking. I
will stay in APC to ensure that Buhari wins in Ogun state and to let
them know that they can’t subvert the will of the state. Every day, I
will campaign for President Muhammdu Buhari, we will do everything
possible to ensure Buhari wins massively in Ogun, but they should not
miss it. I, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, will not support anyone they are
bringing.”Ogun APC crisis deepens as Governor Amosun vows to work against party's governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun
