Amosun restates loyalty to APC

Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun again dismissed the insinuation that he had defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the political developments in the state.

Amosun spoke after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa yesterday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that prior to Sunday’s meeting Amosun had visited the Villa four times in three weeks to meet separately with the president and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Amosun had allegedly accused some political interest group of `misinforming’ President Buhari about `political equation’ in Ogun.

Amosun, who was accompanied by the Alake of Egbaland Oba Adedotun Gbadebo III and former minister Iyabo Anisulowo renewed his allegiance to the APC.

He said: “We will stick with (President Buhari) him. So, I want them to know that we are not going anywhere.

“I’m going to be with the APC, we are in the APC and even after his second term, which by the grace of God and the support of all Nigerians he will win.’’

Anisulowo said: “Ogun is very peaceful and is a very progressive state. Ogun is Baba Buhari’s state and we cannot allow anything to happen contrary to our wishes for him for his second term in office.’’
