OGUN GUBER: NIGERIA’S VICE PRESIEDENT, PROF YEMI OSHINABJO, TWO FORMER GOVERNORS, OTHERS UNITE AGAINST AMOSUN’S APM


Few hours to the 2019 governorship and houses of assembly elections in Nigeria, many odds seems to be gathering against the desire of the incumbent governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun to install his adopted APM candidate, Abdul Kabir as the next governor of Ogun State.

At the last count, about six political heavy weights across Ogun State have jettisoned party interests and personal ambition in what has been described as a strategic effort to liberate Ogun State from Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s undemocratic and dictatorial tendencies.

Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Oshinbajo, from Ikenne Remo Ogun State is leading a major political onslaught against Governor Ibikunle Amosun and his newly adopted party, APM. Oshinbajo has not hidden his support for APC’s candidate, Dapo Abiodun as he has led the campaign tour of the APC candidate across major wards and local governments of Ogun State, in recent times.

Similarly, two former governors of Ogun State, Egba born Aremo Olusegun Oshoba who also doubles as the APC leader in the State and his successor in office, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, a PDP chieftain and DG of Atiku Presidential Campaign has also thrown his weight behind the APC candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun in tomorrow’s governorship poll.

OGD, as popularly called recently issued a statement directing his followers and supporters across Ogun State to mobilize and vote for the candidate of the ruling APC, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in the collective interest of Ogun State.

Other political heavy weights in Ogun State who have also joined forces with Oshinbajo and the two former governors include two former deputy governors in the State, Senator Gbenga Kaka from Ijebu Igbo and Alh Salmot Badru from Yewa axis of the State.

Ordinarily, tomorrow’s governorship election should have been a walk-over for any candidate supported by the incumbent governor, Ibikunle Amosun but, his failure to secure APC ticket for his preferred candidate and his open support for another candidate other than that of his party has pitched the governor against major political interests in and out of the State.

While there has been alignments and realignments of political groups in the State, with some adopting Amosun’s candidate, Akinlade, many still believe that the alignments are too little and negligible to deliver victory for Amosun’s camp, compared to the political influence and sagacity of the forces against him and his candidate APM candidate.
