A House of Representatives member, Oladipupo
Adebutu, has said the influence of both Ogun
State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, and a former
governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Osoba,
would not save the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC) from defeat in the state in 2019.
Adebutu, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
chieftain, declared that his party was committed
to reclaiming the state from APC in the next
general elections.
He spoke during the inauguration of his
constituency office in Isara, Remo North Local
Government Area of the state.
Speaking against the backdrop of the return of
Osoba to APC, the lawmaker, representing Remo
Federal Constituency, said the ongoing
reconciliation within the ruling party in the
state is not a threat to the opposition PDP.
According to him, the ruling party’s
reconciliation would soon hit the rocks because
its members are strange bedfellows.
Adebutu said: “The truth of the matter is that it
is not the first time we are seeing that
reconciliation and we must remember that party
was born from day one with strange
bedfellows.”
“And gradually from day one when Amosun was
brought in to become the gubernatorial
candidate of that party barely five years ago, it
did not take long before he attempted to
swallow the heads of all the leaders of the party
in the arrangement.
“And I don’t think his rationale or thinking has
changed and I don’t see why it should change.
After all, he is not going for further election. I
don’t think he should bash the head, he should
just swallow the whole body.”
