Former Ogun State Governor and Senator representing Ogun Central, Ibikunle Amosun, said he would not support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State come 2023.
He added that he would definitely work for the emergence of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu as the president of Nigeria.
The former Governor disclosed this in an interview with BBC News Yoruba on Monday.
Amosun further stressed that the crisis rocking the party in Ogun State would not in anyway affect the chances of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu adding that all the factions within the Ogun APC are in support of Tinubu and will all work for his victory.
“For the presidential election, I can assure you, all the APC factions in Ogun are working for the presidential candidate of the APC. But for the governorship race, we are not together. I and my supporters are not supporting the APC,” he said.
Amosun explained that his followers are treated like orphans in the state since the inception of Governor Dapo Abiodun and they have all decided to work against the party in the state.
“I am not hiding it, for the presidential election, we are with the APC. But for the governorship, I am not doing it secretly, I will not support the APC.
Asked to mention who he will support for governor in Ogun and the party, Amosun said: “It is Biyi Otegbeye. ADC is the party.”
This is the second time Amosun would be making his stand known about the crisis rocking his party in Ogun since 2019
Recall that Amosun supported his loyalist, Dapo Akinlade in 2019 under APM but lost to Dapo Abiodun of APC.
