The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State has accused the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, of secretly and discreetly working to undermine the elections of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential and National Assembly elections slated for Saturday.
According to the APC, the governor was allegedly working to reduce anticipated votes for Buhari and APC in the two senatorial districts of Ogun West and East, purposely to disgrace the Vice-president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
This was contained inastatement issued on Thursday in Abeokuta and signed by the Publicity Secretary of Ogun State APC Caretaker Committee, Tunde Oladunjoye, the copy which was sent to DAILY POST.
The statement read, “We have at our disposal, confirmed intelligence reports that Governor Amosun has been holding nocturnal and clandestine meetings in the last three weeks with a failed governorship Aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), whose father is a renowned betting agent.
“The purpose of the meetings is to work against APC at the Presidential and National Assembly elections. The objective, for which the governor distributed the sum of N200, 000 per polling booth last week, before the postponed elections, was to ensure that President Buhari loses the election or to drastically reduce the margin of his victory in the two Senatorial districts, especially in Ogun East, where the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, hails from.
“It would be recalled that the failed governorship aspirant recently, without any justification whatsoever, took to the mass media to disparage the Vice President, blaming him for his woes arising from the loss of the PDP’s governorship ticket, only for the same aspirant to turn around few days after to contradict himself with a boast that INEC would soon name him as his party’s candidate.
“It is also on the same planned script that the Chairman of Abeokuta North-West Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Monsuru Shorunke, led thugs to disrupt the distribution of “TraderMoni” in Abeokuta on Tuesday, an action the Chairman was widely quoted in the media as having been “ordered by Governor Amosun.
“In the same vein, Governor Amosun is insisting on the posting away of some corp members in Ogun West Senatorial District where he is sponsoring an APM candidate against his former Chief of Staff, Chief Olu Odebiyi, who is of the APC.
“We are using this medium to ask the Presidency to tame Governor Amosun before he sets Ogun State on fire over his egoistic and moribund self-preserving ambition.”
