Plot to unseat Amosun, a joke – APC

The All Progressives Congress in Ogun State has described as a wishful- thinking the purported plot by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to defeat the incumbent governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, in the 2015 governorship election.

This is coming against the backdrop of a purported plan by both the Labour Party and the PDP in the state to merge in their bid to unseat Amosun.

President Goodluck Jonathan was reported to have endorsed a working arrangement between the PDP and the Labour Party, aimed at shoring up the chances of the former to produce the next governor of the state.

However, APC, in a statement made available by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Sola Lawal, scoffed at the plan, saying it would not succeed. He also described it as a joke.

According to him, existing chaotic internal dynamics within the two opposition parties would end up frustrating their plan.

He further noted that both the PDP and the LP had always worked together in the state, adding that such a ‘gang up’ had never produced any worthwhile result for them.

He said, “In 2011, all the present members of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party in Ogun State were all in the PDP with only a sprinkling of them in the PPN, yet the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, a precursor to the APC, trounced them.”

He added, “Without the executive power of government in its hands, the APC pummelled the combined forces of the opposition. Now consider how much easier it will be with the superlative performance of the Amosun administration to send them to their electoral grave.”

The party likened the gang up against Amosun as an exercise in futility, “which has already failed before being executed.”
