Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, has led the National Chairman of Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Alhaji Yusuf Dantalle, to present a letter of abdoption to President Muhammadu Buhari.
APM adopted President Buhari as its presidential candidate in the 2019 Presidential election.
Amosun told State House correspondents that the APM had already taken a decision to adopt the president as its candidate.
Even though the Governor remains in the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, he is ostensibly the sponsor of the APM in Ogun state
He said, “You will recall that just last week, we made public that APM has adopted President Buhari as their presidential candidate.
“I had promised to bring the letter they had given me to present to him and that is what we came to do today. And you know Mr President is a very gracious human being, he is a man with a good heart.
“He said if a party has adopted him, it is only fair he acknowledges the party and the chairman. That is why we are here.
“I have said that anybody that is for President Muhammadu Buhari is for me. We will embrace such party, such persons, such organization wholeheartedly and that is what I am doing and that is what we are doing in Ogun State
“Clearly Mr President will have a massive vote in Ogun State in the coming election.”
On whether the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole would suspend him, Amosun said, “I don’t want to comment on that.
“We came for this, let’s restrict ourselves to this. I want my president to win. What else do you want? We must win, that is it!”
