Formerly governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate, Barr. Olubiyi Otegbeye, is his candidate in 2023 poll.
Senator Amosun who disclosed this on Monday, October 10, 2022 during a BBC Yoruba interview programme, added that he was supporting the candidature of APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
His words, “I dont hide behind one finger to fight, Biyi Otegbeye is the person I am supporting and ADC is the party.
“For the presidential poll, I can assure you, both right, left and centre, we are supporting one person, that is Tinubu.”
The immediate past governor who is presently the Senator representing Ogun Central at the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly has reechoed his vow and move to remove the incumbent Governor of the state, Prince Dapo Abiodun from office in 2023 because according to him, “he was rigged into the office abinitio.”
Amosun stated that the 2019 governorship election in the state was rigged to favour the Prince Abiodun, adding that he had moved on because some of those who were behind the rigging have come to apologize to him.
“Some of them came to apologise to me. I can’t be mentioning names. We won that election. But I have moved on,” Amosun posited.
“During the last election, thank God, Chief Osoba is here, I have said it, we won convincingly. They rigged, rigged, and ended up with 19,000 votes.
