The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to send soldiers to the state during the March 9 governorship election.

This, it said, was to avert the alleged plot to attack its governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun.

It claimed that there were intelligence reports that Abiodun might be attacked on or before the day of the election.

The Publicity Secretary of the caretaker committee of the APC in the state, Tunde Oladunjoye, stated this while speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta, the state capital.

Oladunjoye said despite the deployment of three Commissioners of Police in the state for last week’s presidential and National Assembly elections, there were cases of violence which led to the killing of a policeman.



He predicted that there might be more cases of violence during the governorship election, if soldiers were not deployed in the state.

He said, “We are asking President Muhammadu Buhari, who has said in his acceptance speech that he is going to strengthen the presence of security men, to make sure that soldiers are sent to Ogun state.

“We are not saying they should be at the polling booths, but they should be at strategic places to prevent violence because the intelligence report we have is that attacks would be carried out in the presence of policemen who will not do anything.

“Of course, our governorship candidate is also a prime target, from the report we got this morning.

“When we said the last time, he was going to be attacked, they said it was a lie. We got this report this morning that he is going to be attacked.”

Oyo and Ogun states are the toughest at the moment in SW.
Amosu contested as a senator under APC and floated another party APM to contest the gubernatorial as against the party wish not forgetting the resilient GNI of ADC. The election will indeed be tough.
If APC looses Oyo, the party should deal with Ajimobi. He was shown the exit door by his district electorates. Very proud, greedy and nonchalant. He has no character of humility as a leader. He's bringing the tension on APC in oyo state. Now that security agents are playing partisan politics, only God can protect the people.

I fear there may be more chaos during the governorship elections than the presidential elections sef...

We the apc will use federal might for elections

We will not take it !

Mass killing loading already

Amosun really love buhari,he contested for senator under the same apc and won, but he move his preferred governor candidate to another party... But his candidate will be heavily defeated

The different factions in both parties are ready for war.

GNI may be the final beneficiary of this madness

The massive raping of our democracy continues

This Amosun is a dogged fighter tho...

E go hear am las las sha

This is uncalled for

Let Amosun enjoys his last minutes fame.

After this 2019 , ordinary councillor Amosun cant win again in Ogun..

APC Calling on the "Commander in Rigging" of the Armed Forces to help them "Re-Rig" Ogun State

This government is a joke.
