The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo state, Engr Seyi Makinde , has debunked the statement attributed to Governor Abiola Ajimobi that God revealed Oloye Adebayo Adelabu to him as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Makinde, in a statement from his campaign office and signed by Prince Dotun Oyelade, said that Ajimobi was pressurised few moments to the party primaries and forced to announce Adelabu by people from Lagos who are interested in managing our tax regime, make huge profits and cart them away to the detriment of our welfare as they are doing in Osun and Lagos States.
“It is a notorious fact,” the statement said, “that Ajimobi is more comfortable with a different contestant but he was not in a strong position to go against the wishes and desires of those who have made him to serially compromise his position as governor in the past 7 and a half years.”
The statement said that “for the avoidance of doubt. Alpha Beta, a company owned by the national leader of the ruling party is poised to upgrade its fleecing of our common heritage and that is not going to happen here.
“For those who do not know, the crisis in the Ogun state APC pitching Gov Amosun with the others is all about Alpha Beta and what it represents.
“I don’t have a godfather, and I have resolved to use every kobo that Oyo state can muster for the benefit of the long suffering masses,” Makinde added.
