Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has fired back at his
predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, for saying he would not support his
second-term ambition.
Despite being a sitting Senator of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Amosun had, in an interview with BBC News Yoruba, said he would
not work for the APC during the governorship election in Ogun, even though he
would support the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Amosun said he is behind Barr. Biyi Otegbeye of the African
Democratic Congress (ADC).
Reacting, Abiodun said Amosun would fail “in his anti party
politics” aimed to scuttle his reelection bid in 2023.
While saying Amosun was playing “dirty politics” by
declaring openly to work for the emergence of a candidate of another party,
Abiodun said the former governor “will fall once again as he did in the 2019
governorship election.”
Abiodun, who spoke at a meeting with members of the Nigeria
Automobile Technicians Association (NATA) at the June 12 Cultural Centre,
Abeokuta, described Amosun’s words as “the empty threat of a falling man,”
boasting that “my second term is already ordained by God ”
“The same thing that person (Amosun) did in 2019 and failed
woefully, even when he was still the governor of the state, he is now preparing
to fail again and even fall down.
“We are waving good bye to him now, he is not even a
candidate of any political party; he is nothing and he is saying he will stop a
governor that God has ordained. He will definitely fail again by the grace of
God,” Abiodun stated.
