Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun State Governor has vowed to work against APC governorship candidate even though it is his party. 

Amosun who spoke on Monday in Abeokuta at a stakeholders meeting of the APC which was attended by his preferred governorship candidate and the flagbearer of Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Adekunle Akinlade, said he would not leave the APC and would contest the Ogun central senatorial election on the platform of the party next year.

The Ogun State Governor who also pledged to work for the president’s re-election bid, vowed to work against APC governorship candidate and ensure the success of Mr Akinlade and other aggrieved members in their new party. 

This disclosure came after 26 aggrieved candidates of the APC loyal to the governor, announced their defection 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.

Recall that Mr Akinlade won a controversial governorship primary of the APC conducted by the party in the state. However, a panel sent by the headquarters of the party conducted a separate primary which produced Dapo Abiodun. Mr Abiodun is said to be the favoured candidate of ex-Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, and his former Ogun State counterpart, Olusegun Osoba.

“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.

Funny party. How come this man has not been expelled from the party after this. APC abeg make Una scatter make Nigeria better.

Osho won't sanction him for anti party activity abi

Many of our leaders are great fools. Imagine a governor having this as best strategy to obtain a political outcome! Many of these buffoons would not be appointed Senior Prefects during my time in secondary school.

For Nigerian politicians, it is never about meritorious candidacy. The way they use the phrases 'work for' and 'work against' makes it look like they only deploy their political machinery for personal gains only even at the expense of national development. The way this has ever worked for them, no doubt, is an indication that the people's political idiocy could be overstretched.

Before We achieve that good governance that we have always longed for in Nigeria, I think informational resetting and sociopolitical reorientation of the people is key to having a merit-based, credible, real people-centered, and non-moronic or 'follow follow' democracy in Nigeria. Until then, We will continue to use our voting power to vote in disasters for ourselves.

Please do

People who go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely are finished. You can not reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth. Amosun must fight for his honour and not be circumcised like Ambode.

#Richdadnuggets

I'm expecting Ambode to work against Tinubu and Sanwo-oshi in Lagos but the idiot dares not, bloody coward

Confusion

Rumble in the Jungle....

This news appeared yesterday also. All the same politicians are all for their selfish interest especially naija ones.

. That's Anti party hate speech. heheheh



Oshiomole should get a ball and ban Amosun first

So far u work for pmb

If Oshiomole thinks he's in charge,let him expel Amosun & Okorocha from the party. They can't be contesting for senate under APC and be supporting another party for governorship

This Amosun pride and arrogance is too much.

He is the architect of the misfortune that will befall his party come 2019 with his Greek gift.This confusion only means that GNI will head to Oke Mosan next year by God's grace.

Politics sha

Why endorse the president and work against a governor, when the president can repeat what they did at osun. Please work against the entire party, it's for Nigerians good.

Things fall apart.The centre can't hold again.Continue!

Gutless man.

amosun mumu

na u sabi...dapo abiodun is our next Governor of Ogun state... remo pple got ur back abiodun..

If this isn't anti party, then I don't know what to call it. The presidency got his back hence this open display of disdain for the party's guber candidate.

To even think both Amosun and the APC candidates were once two jolly friends makes the bickering and power tussle more perplexing.

Ogun governorship election will be one of the toughest because as it is now only God knows the next governor of the state..

Mbaka no get sense
