ABEOKUTA — A Senator representing Ogun
Central Senatorial district in Ogun State, Gbenga
Obadara, yesterday, explained why former
governor of the state, Chief Segun Osoba, must
not forgive governor Ibikunle Amosun.
Obadara, who is a member of the group loyal to
Osoba, said though, the governor had asked the
people in the state to help him apologise to
Aremu Osoba, but claimed the governor by
actions, had not shown sincere repentance.
The senator, who is also, Chairman, Senate
Committee on Privatisation, spoke while featuring
on a live programme on a private radio station in
Abeokuta.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state
has been polarised into two factions, with former
governor Osoba leading one faction and Governor
Amosun leading the other.
The governor had asked the people of the state to
help him beg Aremo Osoba to allow reconciliation.
While listing reasons Amosun’s apology must not
be accepted, Obadara accused the governor of
not being a team player, claiming “the party is
lopsided, our people paid for the congresses, but,
they were sidelined.
“When we complained to the national leadership
of the party, they did nothing. He who goes to
equity must come with clean hands. How can you
explain a situation in a state where five to six
local governments do not have commissioners?
“The governor does not have good advisers. Our
leader, Aremo Olusegun Osoba was humiliated, he
was abused and his house was defaced. The
governor did not say anything about it. He
neither phoned the leader nor went to his house
since he became governor. The appointment he
made since he assumed office is lopsided; so
many local governments do not have
representatives in his government.
“The governor had said all the National Assembly
members in the state are inconsequential, and we
do not have electoral values. He is not a team
player and his commissioners cannot talk to us.
“Some of his loyalists said they will kill us. When
we told him what his people told us, he said he
did not send anybody. Except justice is done, if
we did not get the required justice, definitely,
we will take our fate in our hands.”
