Ogun 2023: Without God and me, Abiodun would not have become Ogun Governor – Tinubu

The national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at an interaction with APC delegates in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday flayed Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State who had earlier declared his support for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo SAN in the race for the APC presidential ticket being contested by Tinubu as well. Tinubu, an APC presidential aspirant ridiculed the Ogun governor that without God and him, he would not have become governor of the state 2019.

Tinubu speaking in Yoruba language to the APC delegates in Ogun, the home of Vice President Osinbajo, had declared: “Dapo that’s sitting down here, could he have become Governor without me.

“We were at the stadium; they tore all his posters. Even the party flag, they didn’t want to hand over it to him.

“I was the one who brought it. If he wants to meet God at the right place, he must know that without God and me, he would not have become Governor.”

Tinubu was accompanied to Ogun State for the mobilization of delegates by Governor Babajide Sanwol-Olu of Lagos, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano Sate, and former Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, and others.

Governor Abiodun commended Tinubu and other APC stakeholders for their presence in Ogun State, noting that they have heard him and promising that the people would do the right thing.

Governor Abiodun had stated: “We have listened to our national leader; he has spoken in our dialect. I do not have a doubt in my mind as to why our leader has come.

“Our leader, our people have listened to you very well. I am sure they have digested everything you said. Rest assured that we will do the right thing. We shall do the right thing.”

Meanwhile, as Tinubu is seeking the presidential ticket of the APC, Abiodun is seeking re-election for a second tenure in Ogun State in the 2023 general elections.
