By our reporter| Ogun state governor, Dapo Abiodun, has responded to Thursday’s outburst by APC chieftain Bola Tinubu during a meeting with the ruling party’s delegate in Abeokuta.
Tinubu, one of the front runners for the APC presidential ticket for the 2023 presidential election had during the meeting angrily told Abiodun how he made him Governor in 2019.
The APC chieftain was apparently not impressed with governor Abiodun for openly endorsing the candidature of vice-president Yemi Osinbajo, who hails from Ikenne in Ikenne local government area of Ogun state.
“It has been over 25 years now that I have been serving them. This one sitting behind me, Dapo, can he say he can be the Governor without me? We were together at the MKO Abiola stadium, he was intimated, they didn’t want to give the party’s flag, I was the one that handed the flag to him. He knows that he cannot be the governor without the help of God and my support, Tinubu said yesterday.
However, responding on his social media platform on Friday, Abiodun in a subtle remark, declared that he was not an emperor by any chance, adding that the position he occupies isn’t his family inheritance.
“I am not an emperor by any chance and this is not my family inheritance.
“I am holding this position in trust for all the people of this state and I have vowed to be fair, just and equitable and this is the solemn agreement I made between the Almighty God and myself,” he said.
