Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, has been caught on camera ordering the removal of campaign posters of the APC governorship candidate in the state, Dapo Abiodun, during the party’s presidential rally in Abeokuta on Monday.
Mr Abiodun had emerged as the APC flag bearer in the state without Amosun’s backing, prompting the governor to shift support to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) where his anointed candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, found solace.
Amosun also campaigned for both parties at the rally saying: “Please, I beg you, this is the vote of President Muhammadu Buhari. Don’t worry; the other one, we will resolve. You know we will resolve it. On March 2, we will resolve it. This one is for President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Please, all of you carrying this APM, by the benevolence of the almighty God, all of you are what, APC. By March 2, all of you will turn to what, APM. All of us, whether you carry this APM, you carry anything, this February 16, it is APC.”
Supporters of both parties clashed at the rally leaving several injured.
