Former Ogun State Governor and Senator representing Ogun
Central, Ibikunle Amosun, has said he would not support the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Ogun State come 2023.
Amosun said though he would work for the emergence of the
APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu as the president of Nigeria, he would
not support other party candidates in Ogun State.
The former Governor made this known in an interview with BBC
News Yoruba on Monday.
Asked about how the crisis rocking the APC in Ogun and other
states would not affect the chances of Tinubu at the poll, Amosun posited that
all the factions within the Ogun APC are in support of Tinubu and will all work
for his victory.
However, he declared that he would not support the APC
during the governorship election, saying he would not hide behind a finger.
“For the presidential election, I can assure you, all the
APC factions in Ogun are working for the presidential candidate of the APC. But
for the governorship race, we are not together. I and my supporters are not
supporting the APC,” he said.
Amosun explained that his followers who aspired for
positions under the APC were not well treated in the primaries.
“I am not hiding it, for the presidential election, we are
with the APC. But for the governorship, I am not doing it secretly, I will not
support the APC,” he emphasised.
Asked to mention who he will support for governor in Ogun
and the party, Amosun said: “It is Biyi Otegbeye. ADC is the party.”
