Former Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state has opened up concerning the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, saying “victory is certain”.
Amosun spoke after the inauguration of Chief Yemi Sanusi as the Chairman of the APC in Ogun state.
Emerald News reports that the Governor Mai Bala Buni-led APC caretaker committee had on Thursday inaugurated the Chairmen of the APC across the states of the federation.
In Ogun state, the caretaker committee recognized the Sanusi faction loyal to Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Both Amosun and Abiodun factions had on October 16 conducted parallel state congresses to elect party officials.
While Sanusi was the winner for the Abiodun group, Chief Derin Adebiyi was elected by Amosun supporters.
However, the inauguration of Sanusi appeared to have stopped the lingering crisis over who is the APC chairman in the Gateway state.
Reacting in a short message, Amosun thanked his followers for their steadfastness.
While saying the APC is theirs, Amosun told them that the journey continues, adding that victory is certain by God’s grace.
“To all our party faithful, Thank you for your steadfastness. We are APC…..APC…..is Ours. The journey continues. Victory is certain by God’s grace. On APC WE STAND. Thank you and WELL DONE to all of you,” he said.
