The Ogun State Governor, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, has again launched another protest against the outcome of the All progressives Congress (APC), primaries in the state and accused the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, of colluding with “a cabal in Lagos” to write fake results which produced Dapo Abiodun as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2019 election.
Amosun in an interview with journalists shortly after swearing-in the new Chief Judge of the state, Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu, alleged the involvement of former governors Bola Tinubu (Lagos), and Segun Osoba (Ogun), in the alleged fraud.
“The President already knows there was no election in Ogun State. He knows that they just went to Lagos, write all results, and that what they did is fraud.

“If the National Working Committee or the National Chairman said there was any election in Ogun State, It was all fraud. That is what I said,”
The governor, who was apparently very bitter insisted that there were no genuine primaries by the National Working Committee (NWC), of the party, aside the one which produced his anointed candidate. Adekunle Abdulkabir Akinlade as governorship candidate.
Amosun had initially announced Akinlade as consensus candidate before the NWC of the party insisted on conducting direct primaries.
The NWC after the direct primaries declared Princess Dapo Abiodun governorship candidate of the party. The Ogun APC leadership, loyal to Mr Amosun, however conducted a rival primary that produced Honestly. Akinlade.
