2023 Governorship: Ogun PDP Daydreaming - APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has described the reported  intention  of the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to take over the governorship of Ogun State come year 2023 as “daydreaming, infantile fancy and political grandstanding devoid of practical reality”

The APC, in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Friday and signed by its Publicity  Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, described the reported unity of factions in the PDP as “a charade meant for photo-ops, camera lights and cheap publicity and also as a belated cry when the head was already off”.

“Let me assure you that APC and Governor His Excellency,  Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR will not be dragged into the 2023 electioneering yet", Oladunjoye stated.

He confirmed that the recent Administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun in Ogun State will just be two years in office next month. 

Added that, the quanta works executed during the Administration of His Excellency, Prince Abiodun, will speak for their Party, (A.P.C) while the opposition continues to day-dream and engage in shadow-boxing”.

According to him, he said the party however, is described as “very unfortunate, which was a statement credited to the factional Chairman of the PDP that the Dapo Abiodun Administration is providing road and water where they were not needed: Oladunjoye said, it is very unfortunate, laughable and an indication that PDP is still in stupor. 

"We recognised PDP’s unwitting acknowledgment of the truth that our government is providing roads and water among many other amenities being delivered by Prince Dapo Abiodun to improve the standard of living of the good people of Ogun State, we challenge the factional Chairman to mention just one place in Ogun State that the  Dapo Abiodun-led government has provided roads and water where they were not needed? We believe that comment came out of vague reasoning and bellyaching; and it confirmed that the PDP has totally lost touch with the needs of Ogun people”, the statement said.

APC further remarked that “the body and soul of PDP in Ogun State, have since left the party for APC, the juggernauts of PDP, the well experienced politicians  that really  matter, are already with us in APC, those leftovers in PDP now are just some remnants clinching to the skeleton of their mutilated party.”

“The PDP members are like the Bouborn monarchs in France, they had learned nothing and forgotten nothing”, the statement concluded.
