Inside Details!… It Appears All Over For Gov Amosun As Oshiomole Takes Away APC Tickets From His Loyalists!
From the look of things, it is game over for embattled governor of Ogun state Ibikunle Amosun.
Details available to societynow.ng have it that high wire politics has greatly decimated the political might of Governor Amosun.
And from the look of things to come, the Governor faces a high risk of becoming “voiceless” in politics of Ogun state.
Societynow.ng gathered that virtually all the All Progressives Congress tickets for elective positions given to hardcore supporters of the governor have been withdrawn and given to others.
Societynow.ng learned the move is being made in a manner that has rendered the governor powerless to protest, except he wants to wreak further havoc on his weakened political structure.
Sources disclosed that the party tickets withdrawn from passionate supporters of Amosun have been reassigned to people in his camp with ties to other camps.
“So on the face value the tickets are given to people in his camp but in a reality, his opponents have just been empowered to further cage him because 80 percent of the new beneficiaries were hugely sidelined by the governor and were already in cahoots with other camps against the Amosun’s interest” societynow.ng learned.
An inkling of what the governor faces is seen in the recently released list of the House of Representatives candidates in Ogun state by the All Progressives Congress national secretariat.
Societynow.ng gathered Amosun has just two of his nine candidates retained.
Societynow.ng gathered the governor would be given a slot in the about to be released “corrected” list of senatorial candidates.
“The list for the State House of Assembly will follow the same version, Amosun and his loyalists are in for a big shock. The corrected list will be filled with supporters of Dapo Abiodun and former Governor Segun Osoba” societynow.ng learned.
This development is a far cry from the initial list submitted to the party secretariat by Amosun.
The “initial list” was reportedly filled with names of the governor’s loyalists.
The Governor won the party tickets for his supporters after he failed to secure the gubernatorial ticket for his anointed candidate Adekunle Akinlade.
Amosun experienced a shocking loss to estranged friend Dapo Abiodun in the struggle for the APC gubernatorial ticket in Ogun state.
The Governor had gone all out and succeeded in getting all other party tickets available for his loyalists in a fail-safe mode to protect his political might.
But that advantage has been taken away from him as the party secretariat upturned the winnings of his men.
Societynow.ng gathered that the plot that took away the party tickets from Amosun’s loyalists is being executed by APC National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole.
Oshiomhole is reportedly carrying out the deeds with backings from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Olusegun Osoba and major players in and out politics giving life to the gubernatorial ambition of Dapo Abiodun.
