A sitting member from the Ogun State House of Assembly Hon. Oludare Kadiri representing Ijebu North Constituency 2 has advised the incumbent Governor Ibikunle Amosun to allow the supremacy of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to prevail and respect the wish of the people by accepting Prince Dapo Abiodun who the people had voted for during the party’s primaries to be the flagbearer come 2019 general elections.
The house of Assembly member gave this advice when speaking with journalists during an interview with him in Abeokuta,Ogun State Capital.
The Hourable who just received an award of excellence of a passionate Grassroots Politician as “The Best Lawmaker of The Year” by the Prestige Newspaper during its 27th year Anniversary based on his contribution to the House and towards the gentlemen of the pen in the House of Assembly, was the one who designed the website for the house at a very low cost against the inflated price that was presented to the House . He also ensure the press were given bus in the house
Hon.Kadiri when asked about the crisis and division in the state party over who to be the flagbearer of the party and the imposition of Hon Adekunle Akinlade by the Governor said
“I will not accept that we have division,we don’t have division we only have a little bit of misconception and misunderstanding.
“it takes a lot for some people to accept defeat psychologically that is why even after winning an election somebody who lose an election will still go to court after loosing an election; is that not psychologically wrong?.” he asked
“To me If the Governor is doing his own thing he felt he has a point. I would not want to comment wrongly because he is my boss I still hold him in high esteem so I would not want to comment on the way and manner that,at least in this situation
we are in democracy and it has to be respected. I voted for Prince Dapo Abiodun, people in my constituency voted for Dapo Abiodun, and we have to respect that the people want him to be the flagbearer and nothing more”
This is democracy and we have to respect that fact and the will of the people must prevail. He added
When asked if the same thing that happened 8years ago in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is not going to repeat itself in APC he said “it is a different thing happening, there is different between Legitimacy and illegitimacy. This is a primary, I am not a member of PDP I don’t know what happened in PDP then but then I remember they have some rancor and I was not part of it nor a party to it. I am a democrat, I was in ACN then, what is happening now is a family matter and I think in no time all wounds would be healed. ”
