The Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, has again stated that Adekunle Akinlade of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) will win this year’s governorship election in the state.

Amosun also advised the federal government against deploying soldiers to the state for the polls, even as he assured that the elections would be free of violence in the state.


He stated this Monday night at the New Year cross-over fanfare held at Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta.

The governor, who was re-elected in 2015 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is running for the Senate on the party’s platform, is backing Mr Akinlade who moved to the APM after losing the APC ticket to Dapo Abiodun.

According to Premium Times, the ruling party’s candidate, Abiodun, is currently enmeshed in a certificate forgery scandal after being exposed for not participating in the mandatory one-year national youth service for Nigerians who obtain a first degree or its equivalent before the age of 30 years.

Amosun boasted that his protege, Akinlade, will beat Abiodun and other contestants and emerge as the next governor to take over from him in May.

The outgoing governor called on the people of the state to make peace their watchword as the elections approach. “Let us prove to the world that Ogun State is known for peace and a state which has produced a number of eminent personalities in the country,” Amosun said.

“Let us tell them that we don’t need the service of the military and police for the conduct of election because we are going to comport ourselves as peaceful people. And for the youth, don’t allow yourself to be used as political thugs. Anybody who approaches for such, tell them to bring out their children to join in the thuggery.”

As he prepares to leave office, Amosun thanked the people of the state for their contributions to the success of his administration, noting that the crossover ceremony will be his last as their governor.

He expressed optimism that the next edition of the event will be conducted by Akinlade, and he would be invited as a former governor of the state.

Amosun said he has done his bit in adding value to governance, noting that the support he got from individuals and bodies contributed to his achievements in office.

The crossover ceremony attracted a number of fun-seekers who were entertained by various artistes and musicians. Traditional rulers led by Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland also graced the occasion.

Other notable personalities at the event include Sarafa Ishola, a former Minister and Director-General, Akinlade Campaign organisation; Olufunsho Amosun, wife of the governor; Olanrewaju Bisiriyu, the Head of Service; Akinlade and Suraj Adekunbi, Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly.

And Akinlade will win bah?? Amosun working towards the path of destruction.

All these politicians are selfish ,heartless and greedy so you want the party that brought you power because you want to impose your successor just for you to keep controlling the state after you left office . The good is that your candidate will fail .You have failed to learn from the past your predecessor did same and he lost .

This guy’s political career is about to die.

Whatever you think of Jagaban, he’s surely a smart politician who knows when to suck it when things are not going his way (except the Ondo case when he went to attack APC Chairman on national dailies); and knows when to consolidate when he’s having the upper hand.

2019 will surely retire a lot of wannabe politicians including OBJ and Atiku.

I really don't understand why Amosun has decided that heusy have his way at all cost. Ogun State has never had Tinubu style godfather and so I don't see why he should decide that it list be him that will bring it to the state.

He could easily have dragged this then backed down and let the party have it's way with governor slow while she takes over Senate and majority of house of reps. It would have worked but now he is there with one leg in APC and now Governorship elections are too free. Anybody can win it and if care is not taken it is GNI that will take over and win. Once that happens then OGD and co are back in Oke Mosan.

Why are people so greedy like this sef?

this guy loves deceiving him self

As a governor he knows which way the wind is blowing

Where did you see OBJ and Atiku in the main news?

This is a new year and the earlier you deliver yourself from hatred for other people , the better and happier your life will be.

Okay we haff hear.

If not for the support of the president he enjoys , Oshiomole would have sanctioned this governor.

The election is for the ADC candidate to lose.

Chai this Amosun is something else,well we Ogun state citizen will reject ur akinlade the same way we will reject dapo abiodun

This man is overrating himself

Like for atiku, share for buhari.

Confused element....

SheikhMuniru:
You Wasted Ogun State Resources Because You Want To Cross Over To 2019 And You Want People To Vote For Akinlade So That You Can Be Covered Up From All Your Atrocities...

You And Akinlade Will Loose

amen oooo

It would be a welcome development

However, it doesn't mean your anointed candidate will win in his new party cos the state is not your personal property and all your atrocities of the last 8 years must be brought to light

I say Amiii for all my brethren in ogun

"Amosun also advised the federal government against deploying soldiers to the state for the polls"....Being an insider, he knows what Buhari is capable of!

Even Bubu is going back to Daura

Amosun we am behind you on this ...Until jubrin or bubu return to daura there will be no peace

Hmm


Anyway, if you want to learn how to attract money, check my signature.

Just go to any other Catholic church around you and demand to see the reverend Father with evident that you're a student. Then explain your predicament to him.

There is no Catholic Church around unless I go to school and I have no transport fare

There's 100% possibility that this guy voted for disaster called Buhari in 2015. Now 3yrs later he is begging online and offline. If you help him now, he will come back with his main username to start yapping SAI BABA till 2090
