Contrary to his earlier declaration that he would not vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election, former Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has reiterated his support for the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It would be recalled that Amosun, before now had declared his support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in the state, Biyi Otegbeye as as against the APC candidate by openly campaigning for him.
However, Amosun, speaking at an empowerment programme in Abeokuta recently, said; “We should all come out and collect our PVCs and we should not fight. This is Ogun State and we should be violence-free. All of us are for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. There is no controversy about that one.”
“One novel thing about what we are are doing today is that we are not limiting this to just Ogun Central even though Ogun Central will have more because I represent Ogun Central, but I know we have our people as well in the East and West, though Ogun East and West have their own Senators and they have been giving their people things, but I’m doing this in the Central and I felt that I should extend that courtesy to our people in Ogun West and East.
“It is not only the people of Ogun Central that have been supporting me since, our people from Ogun West and East have also been supporting our course and I feel they should also benefit from this empowerment programme.”
