Supporters of two former governors of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and Aremo Segun Osoba in the All Progressives Congress, APC were on Friday pitched in battle after Osoba’s men allegedly evicted the state executive of the party inclined to Amsoun, the immediate past governor of the state.
Osoba is aligned with the incumbent governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun who he supported against Amosun’s choice candidate, Adekunle Akinlade.
Chairman of the Amosun tendency Chief Derin Adebiyi accused the Osoba camp of being the aggressors.
The Osoba side promptly denied the claim saying that it took over the secretariat to address the rot in the facilities in the secretariat.
Addressing journalists in his Abeokuta residence, the chairman of the party Chief Derin Adebiyi who is inclined towards Senator Amosun said:
“The governor’s band of marauders arrived the Secretariat in war-like manner and ready for a showdown They were accompanied by a detachment of fierce-looking mobile police officers.
“They damaged all the properties at the secretariat and illegally broke into offices and carted away vital party documents. Some of the destroyed materials were dumped at the back of the kiosks beside the party Secretariat . They drove out members of the staff of the Secretariat and locked up the place.
“We wish to state that the action of the invaders and illegal occupiers is condemnable and contravenes the extant party laws and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” .
Before the takeover, the camp of the Osoba/Abiodun tendency issued a press statement through Kunle Somorin, the chief press secretary to the governor.
“The Ogun State chairman of All Progressive Congress, Chief Yemi Sanusi this Friday took possession of the party’s secretariat at Iyana-mortuary in Abeokuta
“Addressing newsmen after inspecting the facilities, Chief Sanusi explained that the party members were at the Secretariat to assess its condition as the party is set to start work immediately
“While expressing displeasure over the present condition of the secretariat, the chairman assured that the party will give the secretariat a befitting facelift, in preparation for the forthcoming local government elections.”
