The intrigues preceding the primaries of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo North senatorial district has deepened.
This became evident as the lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola federal constituency boasted in a video, obtained by OYOINSIGHT.COM that no one in the party has what it takes to defeat him at the primaries.
Peller, OYOINSIGHT.COM recalls, is set to go head-to-head with Fatai Buhari, the incumbent seeking a third term in office, at the primaries next week.
“If the reason why a party exists is to participate in elections and win elections, Walahi, no one in APC can defeat me, Shina Peller, in Oyo North senatorial district,”the nightlife king told his supporters at a meeting which held in Saki.
He noted that his supporters must not be afraid of the incumbent because he is defeatable.
“Don’t let them scare you. It was in this party of ours that a sitting governor lost his senatorial bid. It was in this same world that Jonathan, a sitting President, lost his reelection bid.
“No one can make us afraid. Power belongs to no one but God only. And it is God that send us errand.”
Speaking further, he recalled that when late former governor Alao Akala banned APC campaign in Ogbomoshos during the 2019 general elections, boasting that he was one of those that led the campaign of Fatai Buhari there.
“People in Ogbomosho didn’t even want him,” he added.
This newspaper understands that Peller’s ambition is hinged on the Oke-ogun l’okan agenda that the region, which houses ten of the thirteen local governments in the district, should produce the next senator.
