Amosun Vows To Remain In APC Despite Loss Of Succession Agenda

Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has pledged not to leave the All Progressives Congress, APC on account of the alleged injustice he claims was done to him and his associates during the recent political party primaries.

He spoke against the background of insinuations that he would defect from the APC, after Dapo Abiodun was recognized by the national secretariat of the party as the APC’s governorship candidate for Ogun State.

Abiodun who comes from Ogun East would distort the long envisaged plan by Amosun and some other leaders in the state to shift power to Ogun West which has never produced a governor for the 40 year old state.

Rebuffing news reports that Governor Amosun was set to leave the APC on account of the political slight, the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Dayo Adeneye in a press statement issued on Tuesday, said that Amosun would not quit a house he jointly built with other patriots.

“It is true that enormous pressure was brought to bear on Governor Amosun to move to another party, because of the glaring injustice meted out to some party members at the recent primaries.

“But the governor maintained his stand that he would not decamp, especially on account of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose judgment and sense of justice, as the leader of the party, he cherishes and values immensely.

“For those who know Amosun over the years, his struggles are usually not about his own person but equity, justice and fairness for all, especially the downtrodden masses. President Buhari represents this spirit and Amosun will stand by him and with him in any party at all times and at all costs,” the statement read.
