The All
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun,
on Friday urged Governor Ibikunle Amosun to support his ambition.
Mr Abiodun,
who described Amosun as his “friend,’’ made the plea in Abeokuta, the state
capital after the party’s stakeholders meeting.
“I want to
appreciate the incumbent governor who is a friend of mine. We may have
differences but that does not remove the fact that we are both members of one
party and that is APC.
“He (Amosun)
is a very good governor by far, he has done very well in the state,’’ Mr
Abiodun said.
The News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that although Mr Amosun’ s preferred candidate
for the 2019 contest is Kunle Akinlade, Mr Abiodun, however, emerged as the
party’s candidate after the primary.
The primary
was conducted by a panel set up by the party’s National Working Committee
(NWC).
The
governorship candidate assured that he would build on what the governor had
done if elected in 2019.
“We are
promising the people of Ogun State good governance; we are going to focus on
improving the lives of our civil servants.
“We will
come up with programmes that will encourage developments that are good for
them.
“Coming from
the oil and gas background I understand how to generate power.
“We are
going to encourage good power supply and by so doing, we will attract foreign and
local industries,’’ he said.
