Governor Abiodun Never Called Nigerian Protesters Sore Losers — Ogun govt

Dapo Abiodun : Grace Galore, Bountiful Showers At 64 By Kayode Akinmade
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Ogun State Government, on Saturday, described as a total fabrication , the claim that Governor Dapo Abiodun called Nigerians sore losers over the ongoing #EndBadGovernance# protest.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, made the clarification in a statement in Abeokuta on Saturday.

Rather, Akinmade, said the governor was talking about certain losers of the 2023 elections who were cashing in on the dissent of Nigerian youths to destabilize the country.

Government added that the chaos that greeted the protest in several parts of the country had vindicated his position.

The statement stated that nowhere in the referenced interview with Channels TV did the governor suggest, even remotely, that ordinary Nigerians ventilating their grievances over the economic situation in the country are sore losers.

According to Akinmade, the governor is well known for his deep appreciation of Nigerian youths, students, and workers, whom he has always held in the highest esteem and spoken about in glowing terms.

The statement added that only on Friday, the governor lauded Ogun residents, particularly the youth, for shunning violent protests and conducting themselves in an exemplary manner, assuring that his administration remained committed to their happiness.

It stated that the governor was ” not only willfully and maliciously taken out of context in his characterization of certain political opponents of President Bola Tinubu using the ongoing hunger protest to feather their own nests, but is now also being persecuted by the same individuals through sponsored attacks on his person and office.”

The statement added : “The claim that Governor Abiodun insulted ordinary Nigerians is spurious, malicious, and lacks any rational basis.

“Elementary rules of language indicate that the meaning of an expression resides in its context.

“Governor Abiodun could not have been referring to ordinary Nigerians as the sponsors of a faceless and leaderless protest.

“While Governor Abiodun did indeed mention sore losers, he was clearly emphasizing irredentist opposition leaders who do not wish the administration well, urging them to prepare for the 2027 polls instead of mindlessly discrediting every government policy just to excite passions and incite people against the government.

“To stretch his use of the word ‘Nigerians’ beyond its intended referents in this context is, therefore, to engage in intellectual fraud and plain mischief.

“Governor Abiodun has the utmost respect for the protesters, and he has made that clear on many occasions.”
