PDP Kicks Endorsement Of Ogun State Governor

The Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State has kicked against the endorsement of the state Governor, Dapo Abiodun, by some loyalists of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu.

The group led by Ola Kukoyi popularly called Kosigiri and Wasiu Ajadi on Sunday gathered the members across the 20 local government areas of the state and announced Abiodun as its choice for the governorship election.

Addressing the gathering during the political rally held in Abeokuta for Abiodun’s second term, Kukoyi said the decision to dump the PDP governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, for Abiodun was due to the plethoral legal crisis ravaging the party

He said, “We have decided amongst ourselves and resolved that the only way is to go to back Dapo Abiodun.

“We had earlier chosen Jimi Lawal as the governorship candidate. But, the party is full of legal matters, we have over 100 legal matters.

“We have been doing opposition for 16 years.

“Plane has never landed in the state since its creation, but, last week three planes landed in Ogun State.

With God and the electorate on our side, we shall be victorious and Ogun State shall be great again”

Abiodun while speaking at the event, expressed appreciation to the group and promised to make them happy.

The governor who was accompanied to the event by his deputy, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, former speaker House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, and others begged them to vote him during the governorship election

He said, “I am shocked with what I saw today. I want to promise you that how I got to Oke-Mosan is by the grace of God.

“God showed that He remains God. I remind myself every day that God made me governor of the state.

“God used you to make me governor. I will do what the people want. I will appreciate what the people do to make me governor. I will never forget you after the election.

“I will not disappoint you. I will not be ungrateful.”
