We’re Not Intimidated By Amosun’s Shenanigans, Support For ADC – Ogun APC Youths

ABEOKUTA -The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun state have lambasted senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Senator Ibikunle Amosun for supporting opposition candidate as a serving APC senator.

The youths under the aegis of APC Youth League said Amosun’s action was tantamount to anti-party activities and should attract suspension or total expulsion from the party.

Addressing journalists on Saturday at the APC campaign office in Abeokuta to commemorate this year’s Freedom Day, the Coordinator, APC Youth League, Comrade Yunus Fayomi said the declaration of the former Governor Amosun for the ADC governorship candidate in the state, Barr. Biyi Otegbeye would not stop the reelection of Governor Abiodun, insisting that he (Amosun) will be defeated like 2019 when he anointed Hon. Abdulkabir Akinlade of Alliance People’s Movement (APM).

The APC youths said they have been able to distinguish between emperor and leader hence, their support for Governor Abiodun.

Fayomi called on the voting populace in the Gateway state to use their Permanent Voters Cards to reject falsehood and deception which have left the state polity over three years ago.

He said this is the time to reward a government that has ensured even distribution of developmental and legacy projects into the nooks and crannies of the State.

He maintained that, unlike Amosun administration that concentrated projects in just three local government areas, he explained that there is no part of the Gateway state that has not witnessed government’s presence in the last three years despite paucity of funds at its disposal and outbreak of epidemic in more than a year of its inception.

Fayomi, however, urged the youths embrace the Presidential candidate of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who they said meant well for them, especially through Human Capacity development which is critical to their Liberty as Youths.

His words: “It would be recalled that on this day in 2019 during the re-election Campaign rally of President Muhammadu Buhari, thugs from Opposition party who had the backing of the then Governor, Ibikunle Amosun caused rancor at the MKO Abiola Stadium Abeokuta and dealt ruthlessly with us ( APC members), by maiming, beating and bringing down our Billboards despite throwing stones and sachet waters at the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. It was indeed a bad precedent that negates Omoluabi status of our dear State.

“We observed that, the senator representing Ogun central in the Red chambers, Senator Ibikunle Amosun had adopted the same phenomenon in the forthcoming election by throwing his weight behind an opposition gubernatorial candidate in the state , hence the need for this call. We are also using this medium to reiterate that as he failed in 2019, so shall he fail again in this coming election.

“The Ogun State Coordinate of the APC Youth League has taken a careful study of the 2019 events and seeing a replica in the attitude of the former Governor

“The Ogun electorates are wise, smart and cannot be fooled by an APC senator supporting an opposition Gubernatorial candidate”.

According to him, in saner climes, he said “Senator Amosun ought to have been either suspended or expelled from the APC and we urge the national leadership of our party to look into this and instill discipline in our highly revered party.

“It is important to reminiscent on the activities that brought about the commemoration of February 11th, every year by the Ogun state Coordinate of the APC Youth League and enlighten the public on reasons not to allow Ogun State to be in the news for negative reasons.

“Individuals who lost parts of their bodies, valuable items and/or were beaten to stupor on the said day despite the heavy presence of security operative, would never forgive the brain behind their ordeal”.

He continued: “The spirit of “Statemanship” was thrown into the thin air while hooliganism and vandalism took order of the day during the era of Senator Amosun as Governor of our State unlike what we currently enjoy in the administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun.

“We hereby call on the voting populace in the Gateway state to use their Permanent Voters Cards to reject falsehood and deception which have left our State polity over three years ago.

“This is the time to reward a government that has ensured even distribution of developmental and legacy projects into the nooks and crannies of Ogun State.

“Unlike previous administration that concentrated projects in just three local government areas, there is no part of the Gateway state that has not witnessed government’s presence in the last three years despite paucity of funds at its disposal and outbreak of epidemic in more than a year of its inception.

“Hence, we are also using this medium to call on Senator Amosun to stop playing God because despite his victimization, oppression and strong opposition in 2019, Prince Dapo Abiodun is the Governor today and he will till 2027 by God’s grace”, he stated.

Fayomi enjoined the youths to support Prince Dapo Abiodun’s second coming as Governor till 2027 in order to have another opportunity to further breathe fresh air and have continuous peace in the state.
