Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that its focus now is on supporting Governor Dapo Abiodun to succeed in delivering more developmental projects to the good people of the state and not candidacy of 2027.
Ogun APC which stated that the matter of ‘candidacy 2027’ or the ‘governorship ticket’ is neither on its table presently nor the leaders, stressed that the preoccupation of the party remains the unfolding legacy projects of the Governor which, it noted, will certainly boost the standing of Ogun APC at the next general elections
Tunde Oladunjoye, the State APC Publicity Secretary, made this known in a release on Wednesday while reacting to a media report alluding that the party stakeholders had opted for Amusan’s candidacy for 2027.
Oladunjoye said the report had given rise to justifiable misinterpretations and subsequent flood of inquiries by party members and stakeholders desirous of clarification concerning the matter.
He reminded members that the party has an established structure and procedure to apply the big sticks for those who overstep their bounds.
He stated, “Since this morning, I have been inundated with inquiries on a publication by one national newspaper (name withheld) whose caption today reported that: “2027: Ogun APC Stakeholders Opt For Amusan’s Candidacy”
“As a media man and having reviewed the headline along with the body of report, I realized that while the headline may be crafty and catchy, however, it leads to justifiable misinterpretations; which have fueled inquiries by party leaders and members.
“For the avoidance of doubt and with all sense of responsibility, the issue of the candidacy for the 2027 governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not on the table of the party and its leaders for now.
“The present preoccupation of the party is to support our performing governor and leader of the party in the state, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in executing his unfolding legacy projects, which will certainly boost the standing of our party at the next general elections.
“While members have the right to project their preferred aspirants, we must be wary of misinformation that may heat up the polity and create needless rumors and rancour.
“It is needless to remind members that the party has the established structure and procedure to apply the big sticks for those who overstep their bounds.”
