Why I’ll work against APC in 2023 – Senator Ibikunle Amosun
Former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has said he is supporting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate, Biyi Otegbeye, in next year’s election.
Amosun, however, said he is strongly backing the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to emerge as the next president.
- Amosun had unleashed another political son, against Governor Dapo Abiodun who is seeking re-election.
Amosun openly confirmed that he is backing Otegbeye in the next election against Abiodun who is the candidate of APC, the party they both belong to.
Amosun spoke during an exclusive interview with BBC Yoruba in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
“For the presidential poll, I can assure you, both right, left and centre, we are supporting one person (Tinubu). I believe we are supporting one person. On the governorship poll, that’s a different ball game. I don’t belong there.
“I don’t hide behind one finger to fight. That’s why people say to me ‘don’t say that.’ On governorship, my supporters and I, we don’t belong to that side.”
Asked who is supporting, Amosun responded “Biyi Otegbeye is the person I am supporting and ADC is the party.”
