Former Governor of Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria, Ibikunle Amosun has slammed the incumbent state governor, Dapo Abiodun for causing retrogression to development in the state under his watch.
Gatekeepers News reports that Amosun, at a campaign rally he led for the ADC candidate at Ado-Odo/Ota, Sagamu, Ogun waterside area of the state, noted that Otegbeye was the right person to restore Ogun State to the path of development.
The former governor, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said Otegbeye was the best candidate for the governorship position.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Media Director of the ADC Campaign Council, Raheem Ajayi.
He qouted Amosun to have bemoaned the Ogun standard policy, saying it has been abandoned under the current APC administration of Abiodun.
He, therefore, appealed to the people of the state to vote for Otegbeye who has the capacity to restore the state at the forthcoming polls on Saturday.
He said, “If the current government cared about continuity, by now, Ogun State would have grown in leaps and bounds. But what do we see today? Retrogression. And that is why I am out; that is why we must return to that path of development, that path of glory, that path of ‘we are Ogun State.
“Somebody came and reduced the six-lane road to two-lane. Is there any sense in this? We should not draw back development.
“That’s why I rise up to call on you. Let’s come out in large numbers on March 11 to cast our votes for ADC and Biyi Otegbeye. On that day, let’s exercise patience and wait until the votes are counted. Don’t give room to thuggery and rigging.”
