Why APC leaders are after me— Amosun

Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Thursday claimed he is being
castigated by some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
because of his achievements and commitment to the development of
Abeokuta, the state capital, ahead of other regions in the
State.

Amosun said no right-thinking governor would abandon the capital
to remain the glorified condition it was before he became Governor
in 2011.

The governor spoke while kick -starting his ward- to- ward
senatorial campaign across in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun
Central Senatorial District.

Addressing supporters in Owoowo ward 9, the same ward from where
he contested the senatorial seat in 2003, Amosun said it was
uncharitable for anyone to accuse him of developing Abeokuta over
other areas.

He said: “Why am I being castigated? Abeokuta was made the State
capital over 40 years ago and the only offence I have committed is
to have developed Abeokuta but I tell you, no sane governor will
neglect Abeokuta, else that governor will see the result.

“I have never neglected other areas. We have one of the best
flyovers and roads of our administration in Sagamu, there are two
flyovers in Ijebu Ode with good roads and the same things are done
in Ijebu Igbo and Yewa.

“What we’ve done is that when we do three things in Abeokuta, we
do two or one in other places and we are running round day and
night to get this done.

“I am not the first governor in Ogun State but I appreciate what
they’ve done but if anybody castigates me? No governor worth his
salt will abandon Abeokuta.”

He solicited the votes of people in all the wards, appealing to
them not to trade their Permanent Voter Cards(PVCs) for monetary
gains.

“Don’t be deceived into trading your PVC, they will come with
promise of loans and grants requesting for your PVC number, tell
them they are thrives and criminals, ask them where they have been
since all these years that they are now coming on the eve of the
election,” he said.
