The gubernatorial candidate of
the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 9, 2019 election in Oyo
State, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has declared that he remains inseparable from the
outgoing governor of the state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
Adelabu made this clarification
while playing host to APC party chairmen from the 33 local government areas of
the state who came to pay him a solidarity visit in Ibadan, the state capital.
Adelabu, while speaking during
the visit said that, “the antics of mischief makers cannot put a wedge in the
relationship between the two of us.”
He was reacting to the
insinuation that he deliberately ignored to acknowledge the governor in his
thank you message to the people of Oyo State.
The former Deputy Governor
(Operations) Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), while dispelling the rumor of
alleged rift with Ajimobi, maintained that those who said that he ignored the
governor are only displaying their ignorance.
He said, “Those who said I
ignored the governor are only displaying their crass ignorance.
“My message was to our people
whose mandate we sought and who voted for us overwhelmingly. Our appreciation
is a process, as our next port of call was the state party executives whom we
visited last week.
“I’ve been in constant touch with
my leader who gave me all his support before our primaries, all through the
campaigns and during the election proper.
“Senator Ajimobi will forever
remain dear to me as the bond between us transcends what the mischief makers
can comprehend,” he reiterated.
Adelabu seized the opportunity to
express his resolve to put the campaign vehicles at the disposal of the party
both at the local government and state levels.
He said, “I’ve told our leaders
when I went to visit the state executive committee of our great party that I
will not renege on my pledge that the vehicles belong to the party.
“I’m a loyal party man and I
cannot go back on my words”.
APC Chairman in Ibadan South West
Local Government, Prince Aderemi Oni, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, praised
Adelabu’s spirit of sportsmanship in the just concluded election.
Oni said, “The chairmen came to
express our support and to identify with you in your future political move.
“We salute your courage and we’re
proud to have worked with you in the elections”.
