The Ogun Governor-elect, Mr Dapo Abiodun, says he bears no grudges against the outgoing governor of the state, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun.

Abiodun stated this on Monday during his victory speech at a news conference in Iperu.

He said that he took the position in spite of Amosun’s antagonism and hostility towards him in the build-up to the Saturday’s elections.

Abiodun, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the governorship election was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday.

Amosun, who is a leader of the APC in the state, rejected Abiodun after his (Abiodun)’s emergence as the party’s flag bearer from the election primaries conducted by representatives of the APC’s National Working Committee (NWC)

Subsequently, the governor declared support for his anointed candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, who later contested on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

Having emerged winner of the polls, Abiodun, however, said he was not angry with the out-the governor, who is now a senator-elect.

He recalled that he neither uttered any negative words against him nor exhibited any form of anger towards him throughout the period of the campaigns.

“My desire and priority are to serve the people of Ogun sacrificially and this is what is uppermost in my heart.
