2019: Amosun insists on handing over to Akinlade

Despite the fact that the National Working Committee of the All
Progressives Congress has submitted the name of oil mogul, Dapo
Abiodun, as the Ogun State governorship candidate, the state
governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Friday insisted on handing
over to his choice candidate, Adekunle Akinlade.

This was contained in a statement released on his behalf by the
state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Adedayo
Adeneye.

The governor, however, restated his commitment to supporting
President Muhammadu Buhari and his party in next year’s
elections.

The statement read partly, “For the avoidance of doubt, I remain
committed to our great party, APC, and I stand with and for our
leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I am in no doubt that come May 29, 2019, the Almighty God will
make Mr President triumph and ensure that I hand over the reins of
governance of our great state to the popular choice of the majority
of our people, Abdulkabir Adekunle Akinlade.

“I restate my unwavering commitment and total support for the
mandate freely and expressly given to Abdulkabir Adekunle
Akinlade.”
