Former governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has said the incumbent governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, won the 2019 governorship election through rigging.
Amosun stated this in Abeokuta after receiving an award from Abeokuta Club to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the association, on Friday.
Recall that the former governor backed Adekunle Akinlade, who contested on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), against Abiodun.
But Abiodun polled 241,670 votes to defeat Akinlade, who had 222,153 votes.
Amosun stated that the 2019 governorship election in the state was rigged in favour of Abiodun.
He added that he had moved on because those who orchestrated the rigging had apologised to him.
“During the last election, thank God, Chief Osoba is here, I have said it, we won convincingly. They rigged, rigged, and ended up with 19,000.
“Some of them came to apologise to me. I can be mentioning names. We won that election, but I have moved on.
“We did our work. We will continue to do what we have to do. God will be with all of us,” he said.
Speaking later in an interview with newsmen, Amosun declared that he was not in support of Abiodun’s administration, saying he must be removed.
He also assured his supporters that the nextline of action would soon be made public.
“Well, I am happy. When you are in a place and they are telling you that you have done the work of four or five governors altogether. I feel elated. I am happy that they appreciated our little efforts.
“Just wait, very soon, you will hear where we are going next. Clearly you know my stand, and my stand is my stand. I am not supporting this administration that is there now. He must be removed,” he said
