As the All Progressives Congress (APC) begins screening of political aspirants, the Ogun State Chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), has reacted to a petition sent to the National Chairman of the Party, Sen. Adullahi Adamu, which called for disqualification of Governor Dapo Abiodun from contesting the 2023 election.

Describing the petition as spurious and worthless, the group therefore urged Adamu and the APC leadership to ignore such petition, reminding that, this is a political season where all manner of strategies would be deployed to nullify the candidacy of leading political figures.

State’s IPAC Chairman, Comrade Samson Okusanya, at a press conference in Abeokuta, Ogun State Capital the State’s IPAC Chairman, Comrade Samson Okusanya, accused a former governor and some political gladiators of sponsoring writer to blackmail and malign the governor, in an attempt to stopping him from contesting for a second term in office.

Okusanya therefore urged the national leadership of the APC to disregard the “ranting of the drowning politicians and power maniacs”.

While urging the APC to jettison the petition, IPAC said the council is fully prepared to resist any attempt by the former governor and his cohorts to disqualify Abiodun’s second term bid, adding that the group will not allow itself to be part of any plan by the blackmailers to disqualify Abiodun from contesting the 2023 election.

IPAC leadership, who called on the good people of Ogun State to support Prince Abiodun for another tenure insisted that Abiodun has completed many projects abandoned by his predecessor and he is still putting in place, laudable projects all over the state indiscriminately.

The letter to the APC reads in part: “Our attention has been drawn to the petition written and signed by one Ayodele Oludiran on behalf of a group seeking the disqualification of Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, the Executive Governor of Ogun State. To our consternation, we found out that the petition is spurious, not genuine and a calculated attempt to disparage the person of the Governor.

“Your Excellency Sir, with the petitioner ranting all through his epistle, it is made clear that Ayodele Oludiran, substantially lacks the capacity to correctly understand the complexities in rational thinking, needed to be a responsible public commentator. We also discovered that the very long, but embarrassingly empty epistle of calumny, written by the said  Ayodele Oludiran, has definitely marked him out as a very worthless addition to the human race.

“We urge the National leadership of the ruling Party to disregard the ranting of the drowning politicians and power maniacs, by jettisoning the petition as it’s an attempt to make the state ungovernable by the (suspected) former Governor and ultimately, turn Ogun State to a war zone because his 8 years were wasted administration, which was characterised by looting and award of contracts to pseudo contractors, diversion of bail-out fund has become a thing of the past under the transparent administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun.

“Definitely, the fifth columnist, who are hiding behind their fingers to truncate the development of Ogun State through all means including the latest attempt through the spurious petition shall be put to shame. These set of people who has  mismanaged the resources of the state, while at the helms of affairs in the State through so many fraudulent white elephant projects are today the mantra/Epitome of “We shall do all things plunged the State into huge debts.

“A tour round the State, to the sites of the abandoned Model Colleges where a whooping N52 billion was wasted by the suspected Governor, vividly showed that posterity will judge him and his Government accordingly and even they ought to cover their faces in shame because all abandoned, but fully paid road projects by their own administration had now been completed.

“The former Governor and his group, sponsoring the faceless Ayodele Oludiran, are boasting round the State that they will malign, scandalise and blackmail Governor Dapo Abiodun, but the era of recycled political racketeers, who are strictly merchants without commitment and conscience for the governed must be collectively brought to a final stop through a positive change as represented by His Excellency, Governor Dapo Abiodun MFR performance”.
