Amosun in talks with PDP – Gov Abiodun

Gov Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has said his predecessor, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, is currently talking with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor, however, did not disclose further details about Amosun’s talks with the opposition PDP.

Recall that Amosun has been suspended from the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, for alleged anti-party activities, after winning his senatorial election in the same party.

Abiodun, speaking through his consultant on General Matters, Hon Biyi Adeleye, in a chat with newsmen in Abeokuta on Saturday, described Amosun as “the Chief Clown of the Year.”

Talking about the March 9 governorship election in Ogun State, Abiodun said, “This election has come, we have won and it has gone. That (somebody) one hopeless man is giving them (his followers) hope, that they are going to claim their mandate back; we know Amosun, the man that is already talking with PDP.

“He’s just taking his time, giving them hope for 2023. Amosun himself knows that Governor Dapo Abiodun won that election clear and clean. If we are in a clime where people who won election go to court to challenge some irregularities, we should be in court first to ask them where they got all the votes from Ipokia.

“But because we are not doing that, he now has the leverage to start going round and tell his people that ‘we are going to claim ourmandate back’. Well, he can stay there in court while we stay in government to fulfill all the promises we made to the good people of Ogun State.

“He can continue to do what he did in 2007; he just wants to keep them through court processes, giving them false hopes. As we are speaking Amosun is speaking with opposition.

“He’s speaking with PDP. If he’s so confident and sure that he’s going to get his mandate back from court, then why is he going around to talk to opposition? But I can tell you that the good people of Ogun State know better; they have experienced him, they have seen him, they are tired of him.

“There is no way Amosun can come back again through window or the roof or anywhere, he will always meet brick wall.”

Responding to the call by Chief Derin Adebiyi, the Ogun State factional Chairman of All Progressives Congress, loyal to Amosun, for investigation into the credentials of Prince Dapo Abiodun, Adeleye said the outburst of Chief Adebiyi depicts a call by a political clown.

Adeleye said Adebiyi deserves pity based on the fact that his outburst is not in tandem with the reality, referring to him as the “latest political clown in town who is competing with Amosun for the Chief Clown Award of the year”.
