The gubernatorial candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in the last general elections in Ogun State, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade, has made clarifications over his exit and that of his loyalists from the party, stating they have since returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC) since December 2019.
Akinlade while reacting through his media aide, Adelani Azeez, to a statement by some politicians who claimed to have decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ipokia Local Government on Sunday said the statement is miles apart from the truth.
Akinlade noted that the move was welcomed and acknowledged by the national leadership of the APC.
He stated further that: “All former members of the APM took part in the last All Progressives Congress (APC) membership revalidation exercise across Ogun State and till date carry the membership cards of the APC with pride. On the contrary, none of the so-called ‘APM leaders’ can proudly display his or her APM membership card.
“Furthermore, Ipokia Local Government, being the home and political base of Hon. Adekunle Akinlade is fully for the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and Senator Ibikunle Amosun (SIA). Therefore, there is no APM member anymore in Ipokia or Ogun State since December 2019.
“Also, the Senator Ibikunle Amosun’s political structure of the APC in Ogun State has continued to wax stronger, vibrant and growing on a daily basis, as such, we are unperturbed by the lies from the mischief-makers who are hell-bent on creating confusion to expand their political cottage having lost in the bid to secure the people’s minds with stipend.
“As much as we understand the political motives of those claiming to have moved from APM to APC, we advise them to jettison the unpopular and obsolete politicking because it is counterproductive. It is also unfortunate that in spite of the alleged resources at their disposal, this is the quality of individuals they could procure.”
