May 14, (THEWILL) – Ogun State Chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), has petitioned the National Chairman of the All Progressive Party (APC), Senator Adullahi Adamu, over an attempt by one Ayodele Oludiran, to disqualify Governor Dapo Abiodun from contesting for the second term in the state.
Oludiran, alleged to have been sponsored by the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, was said to have written and signed a petition on behalf of a group, seeking to disqualify Abiodun from contesting for another four years in office.
The council, who described Oludiran’s petition as spurious, not genuine and worthless, urged Adamu to ignore such petition, especially at political season where all manner of strategies would be deployed to assassinate the character of a leading political figure.
Speaking at a press conference in Abeokuta, the IPAC’s Chairman, Comrade Samson Okusanya, accused Amosun and some political gladiators of allegedly sponsoring Oludiran to blackmail and malign the governor and as well, stop him from contesting the governoship election for second term.Â
Okusanya, who urged the national leadership of the ruling party to disregard what he described as ‘rantings of the drowning politicians and power maniacs’, by jettisoning the petition, said that the council was ready to resist any attempt by the former governor and his cohorts to disqualify Abiodun’s second term bid.
The IPAC’s chairman divulged that the council would not be part of any plan to disqualify Abiodun from contesting for another tenure, insisting that he had completed some abandoned projects of Amosun and he is still constructing laudable projects in the state.
“Our attention has been drawn to the petition written and signed by one Ayodele Oludiran on behalf of a group seeking the disqualification of Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, the Executive Governor of Ogun State. To our consternation, we found out that the petition is spurious, not genuine and a calculated attempt to disparage the person of the Governor.
“Your Excellency Sir, with the petitioner ranting all through his epistle, it is made clear that Ayodele Oludiran, substantially lacks the capacity to correctly understand the complexities in rational thinking, needed to be a responsible public commentator. We also discovered that the very long, but embarrassingly empty epistle of calumny, written by said Ayodele Oludiran, has definitely marked him out as a very worthless addition to the human race.
“We urge the National leadership of the ruling Party to disregard the rantings of the drowning politicians and power maniacs, by jettisoning the petition as it’s an attempt to make the state ungovernable by the former Governor and ultimately, turn Ogun State to a war zone because his 8 years were wasted administration, which was characterised by looting and award of contract to pseudo contractors, diversion of bail out fund has become a thing of the past under the transparent administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun.
“Definitely, the fifth columnist, who are hiding behind their fingers to truncate the development of Ogun State through all means including the latest attempt through the spurious petition shall be put to shame.These set of people who has mismanaged the resources of the State, while at the helms of affairs (2011 to 2019) in the State through so many fraudulent white elephant projects are today the mantrach/ Epitome of “We shall do all things plunged the State into huge debts.
 “A tour round the State ,to the sites of the abandoned Model Colleges where a whooping N52 billion was wasted by the immediate past Governor, vividly showed that posterity will judge him and his Government accordingly and even they ought to cover their eyes in shame because all abandoned, but fully paid road projects by their own administration has now been completed.
“The former Governor and his group, sponsoring the faceless Ayodele Oludiran, are boasting round the State that they will malign, scandalise and blackmail Governor Dapo Abiodun, but the era of recycled political racketeers, who are strictly merchants without commitment and conscience for the Governed must be collectively brought to a final stop through a positive change as represented by His Excellency, Governor Dapo Abiodun MFR performance”, he added.
