The
Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Rural Development, Honourable
Oladipupo Adebutu has berated Ogun State Governor,Senator
Ibikunle Amosun for his recent statement that he knows those that will not
succeed him.
Ladi Adebutu
described the statement credited to Governor Amosun as a 'reckless statement’,
urging him to stop playing God.
He
however, urged the governor to face his primary role of governance, adding that
only God can decide who gets to lead the people.
Speaking
on the recently conducted Local Government elections in the State, Adebutu
described it as a sham, claiming, it was orchestrated by the
Governor Ibikunle Amosun led administration.
Hon.
Adebutu stated these while addressing candidates of the People’s
Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2016 Local Government elections in the state at
the PDP Secretariat, Legacy Building, Abeokuta.
In his
words, he admonished the candidates to consider themselves as the vanguard of
the moment for a better change in Ogun State.
"I
stand here to say boldly that what was sold to the public as a free and fair
local government election in Ogun state is merely a ruse.
The
daylight robbery of your mandates by the state government has further exposed
the criminal nature of the APC led government and their penchant for illegality.
"I
want you all to know that I am a firm believer in the autonomy of the local
government administration in Nigeria and I promise to ensure the functionality
of the council when elected in 2019.
Leaders
of the party commended the candidates for holding forth and standing with the
Sen Ahmed Makarfi Caretaker Committee and Ogun State PDP Chairman, Alhaji
Sikirulai Ogundele.
They
were urged to continue to work for the success of the party in all
ramifications.
Present
at the gathering were Chief Mrs Iyabo Apampa, the Apex Body Chairperson, Elder
Yemi Akinwonmi, Chief Oyekunle, PDP state executive officers and
all local government party chairmen.
