ABEOKUTA - The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has confirmed his readiness to kick-start campaign for his governorship candidate, Adekunle Akinlade of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Governor Amosun while addressing State House Correspondents in Abeokuta on Tuesday said he had stepped down the proposed governorship campaign for his candidate in honour of his aide, Prince Adeniyi Adesanya who died in a fatal accident last Friday.
The Governor who emerged winner of the Ogun Central Senatorial election, submitted that, plans have been concluded to commence the state wide campaign for his governorship candidate.
It would be recalled that, Amosun was at loggerheads with his party leadership, APC over the emergence of Prince Dapo Abiodun as the governorship candidate of the party in the state.
He however, accused some unnamed people of gang up against his Senatorial ambition.
He explained that, the difference between his result and President Buhari in the just presidential and national assembly elections indicated conspiracy against him, but appreciated the electorate for entrusting their mandate in him.
"I’m happy for the result of the election, people have benefited from it, that is the way life is, people know who they were voting for in APC, clearly when the result was out, check Mr. President result and check mine you will see the are little differences, those are the people that don’t want us, those that want us are about 80-90 percent and those that don’t want us are about 10 percent, that’s life.
"Don’t think that everybody will love you even how much perfect you may be, we are humans there are some people that won’t like you and even if they don’t hate you, they will just don’t like you.
"I don’t hate anybody. Truly I wasn’t taking them serious that they wanted to gang up against me, but if you see the result of the election you will know that truly they ganged up against me but that God in me is far greater than God that is in all of them.
"Yes, am happy I want to represent my people, they have given me their votes, am really grateful, elated and I can’t thank them enough.
"From today, we are stepping down campaigns in memory of our colleague that lost his life and we thank God for SSG’s life, we won’t be able to start the campaign today. Indeed we just stepped down the excos, and tomorrow we are starting fully for my candidate, our candidate Abdulkabir Adekunle Akinlade, from tomorrow all our Assembly members and people are ready for the campaign.
"People have benefitted from our APC, but no problem because I have to come out that this election it is APC because President Muhammdu Buhari must win and truly we have demonstrated that."
