Amosun’s planned defection will not affect Ogun APC -Party Chieftain

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Remi Bakare has said that the alleged planned defection of the state governor to another party would not affect the fortune of the ruling party in the state.

Bakare who stepped down for Amosun in 2011 governorship election on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, said the party leaders were regretting the action they took by fielding Amosun as the party candidate.

Speaking with few newsmen yesterday, in Abeokuta, over the crisis rocking the party in the state, Bakare described Amosun as a stranger in the progressives party, acussing the governor of jettisoning the party manifesto.

According to Bakare who described himself as the better alternative to Amosun, let me tell you that there would probably not have been opposition in Ogun State if those strangers had not destroyed APC.

” The truth is that, almost everybody in Ogun State seems to have just one common goal and you will be shocked that if today ,those strangers decide to leave I can tell you almost four or five times number that had left the party will come back to APC.

“Whether we call it crisis or not, the truth is that we have a stranger in the house and I see the stranger taking leave of the house very soon when the heat is on, the heat is on already, but , when it is unbearable , the stranger will probably relocate and we will take things from there”.

While speaking on the performance of Amosun in the last three years, Bakare, whose governorship posters have flooded the state capital , said , yes, there have been massive spending on roads, but, ask yourself what is the volume of vehicular traffic in Ogun State that justifies such that massive construction?

“It is like a case of misplaced priority, when we were in Secondary School, in basic Economy, there is something we call scarcity, choice and scales of preference , is that what we really need in Ogun State. Why embark on massive road construction at the expense of education at the expense of Health. I don’t think that is the priority, so, he must have his own reason for choosing that as his own priority, but, that is not what people need.

“The cost of constructing one road will employ 10, 000 people in the Civil Service and pay them for 10 years. So, there are better things we can deploy our resources on and this will be the first government I have seen whereby you have massive spending going on and not yet impacting on the economy of the state .

“Let me say this, the opposition within the party is even stronger than the one outside, the fact remains, he is an outsider and he is not
implementing the manifesto in the party that elected him, rather, he is doing what he wants not the party manifesto”, Bakare claimed
