The Ogun State governor, Sen.
Ibikunle Amosun has declared that his successor would be a woman and ‘a whiz
kid’.
The Governor’s declaration
apparently shocked members of his cabinet who were with him at a World Press
conference to herald the 3rd African Drum Festival at MITROS Suites and
residences, Ibara GRA, Abeokuta.
Amosun, who was fielding
questions from newsmen on the sustainability of the Drum Festival after his
tenure ends next year, assured that his choice of replacement would be “a whiz
kid, who will surpass him in all ramifications.”
“Let me say this. A woman is
going to be next governor of Ogun State. She is a whiz kid that will key into
what we have been doing in the last eight years,” he said.
He assured that with what his
administration had achieved, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, would
win the 2019 elections.
Before now, there has been speculations
that the governor had settled for the choice of a Canadian-based Mrs. Titi
Odunfa Adeoye as the party’s candidate in Ogun state come 2019.
He was quoted to have said at a
recent forum, that “my candidate will not be politician, not even in APC.” The
disclosure on Tuesday, may have further put to rest all permutations and
calculations even in the ruling APC in the state.
