Ibikunle Amosun, governor of Ogun
state, says he is not behind the interrogation of Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), by the Department of State
Services (DSS).
There was reprot that
Oshiomhole was detained and quizzed by the DSS after some APC governors alleged
that he received bribes during the party’s primary elections.
The APC chairman was pressured to
resign during the interrogation. He reportedly travelled out of the country
after his encounter with the secret police.
Amosun fell out with the
leadership of the party after it chose Dapo Abiodun as his state’s
gubernatorial candidate. The governor’s preferred candidate is Abiodun
Akinlade.
Speaking with journalists at the
presidential villa after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday,
Amosun said he does not “have to hide under a finger to fight” anyone.
“I think you are probably giving
me an oversight role and I am not a security person, so clearly I think that
question will not be for me. I don’t have to hide under a finger to fight,” the
governor said.
“If there is need for me to put
my views across, you know me by now that I will do it.”
When asked to comment on
Oshiomohole’s reported trip out of the country, the governor said he is “not
well suited” to respond to such a question.
“I have told you those things are
beyond my pedigree and you are asking me questions that I am not well suited
for,” Amosun said.
“The one that I have to talk
about we have said it loud and clear that it doesn’t event need add anything.”
