Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, have urged politicians to eschew politics of bitterness towards a peaceful 2019 general election.
Akinlade said this at a press conference at the party’s secretariat in Abeokuta.
Four House of Representatives members on Thursday resigned their membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress and the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
Amosun, who spoke on Saturday in a statement by the Ogun State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Adedayo Adeneye, however, said the plot will fail
The position of Amosun, contained in a statement on Thursday, was in reaction to Oshiomhole’s outburst over the party’s primaries in which many, including State Governors, felt aggrieved.
They are aggrieved by the rejection of the nomination of Amosun’s anointed governorship candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, and a few others by the national leadership of the party
The councillors, who stated their position on Thursday, declared their support for the APC National Working Committee-backed governorship candidate for the State, Dapo Abiodun
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Lanre Issa-Onilu, gave the explanation in an interview on Wednesday
Members of the Association of Local Government Councillors in Ogun State have clamoured for the declaration of Hon. Adekunle Akinlade as the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the state.
Amosun said this on Monday when he spoke with newsmen after swearing in the new chief Judge of the State, Mosunmola Dipeolu
Abiodun, who spoke at a political gathering that was not specified in the video where he made the allegation, said Amosun did not give him a dime to prosecute his senatorial bid, which he lost to the incumbent and representative of Ogun East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu
Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Tuesday visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he met behind closed door with President Muhammadu Buhari for about two hours.
While the state chairman of the party, Chief Derin Adebiyi, declared the House of Representatives member Adekunle Akinlade as the winner, the electoral panel sent by the National Working Committee declared oil mogul, Prince Dapo Abiodun the winner.
The National Working Committee of the party and the Ogun State chapter on Tuesday announced different names as candidate of the APC for the 2019 elections
Both candidates emerged on Wednesday, with the State Government and the National Working Committee of the party declaring different winners
The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has declared Hon. Adekunle Akinlade as winner of the party’s gubernatorial primaries held in all the 236 wards in the state on Tuesday.
