Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, has vowed to work against the governorship candidate of the APC, a party he belongs to.
Amosun made this known at an APC stakeholders meeting in Abeokuta which was attended by his preferred governorship candidate and the flagbearer of Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Adekunle Akinlade.
At the meeting, he said he would not leave the APC and would contest the Ogun central senatorial election on the platform of the party next year.
His decision to remain with the APC is amidst a defection of 26 aggrieved candidates of the APC to the APM.
“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,” the governor said.
“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,” he said.
