Abeokuta – The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ogun State chapter has said that there is no peace accord between Governor Dapo Abiodun and the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
The party made the denial of the in a press release issued in Abeokuta on Thursday by the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Tunde Oladunjoye.
He blamed Amosun’s loyalists for insinuating a non-existing and imaginary peace accord between the two.
According to Oladunjoye, a story planted in an online medium, insinuating the existence of a peace accord between Abiodun and Amosun was not correct and should be disregarded.
“We want to alert members of the general public, especially members of our dear party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), that contrary to the fake news, there was no proposed “agreement for power sharing” with anyone or group by the APC in Ogun State.
“There could not have been any agreement or sharing formula with people or groups that, from all intents, purposes, actions and utterances; are not members of our party.
“It is well known that this set of disloyal politicians not only resigned their membership of the APC in the build up to the 2019 governorship election, which was clearly won by the present Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, their touted return to the APC was mere talk as their actions had consistently shown.
“These serial complainants and endemic petitioners are, in their usual character, aim to blackmail the leader of our party and the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in a desperate attempt to continuously cause confusion and possibly reap from where they did not sow.
“That is why they have been churning out serial falsehoods.
“Confirmed intelligence reports have always pointed to the fact that members of the embattled Amosun group have always been in hand-in-gloves with members of the opposition parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
” It is therefore not unexpected that they want to return to the PDP, which they actually worked for in 2019.
“It is on record that the Amosun group, after defecting to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in 2019, went ahead and signed an MOU dated 7th March, 2019 with the PDP.
“It is this expired MOU that the insatiable Amosun group simply wants to renew,” Oladunjoye explained.
He, however, commended notable former members of Amosun group ; Senator Senator Lekan Mustapha, former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Jide Ojuko, former Commissioner for Health, Dr Babatunde Ipaye, and many others who have since “seen the light and have returned to the mainstream Ogun APC, pledging their loyalty to Governor Dapo Abiodun.”
The Publicity Secretary then urged members of the party in the state not to allow themselves to be misled or distracted by the antics of ” sore losers who are still sulking, three years after losing the March 2019 governorship election.
“Our focus as a party, is to support our government to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the good people of Ogun State and to win the forthcoming general elections overwhelmingly.” (vitalnewsngr.com)
