Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun has dispelled the rumour that he plans to defect from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following the disputed party primaries in the state.
His denial was contained in a statement yesterday by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Adedayo Adeneye.
The governor described the news report in a section of the media as a figment of imagination of the writer(s).
The governor reiterated his stand with President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he cherished the president’s judgment and sense of justice as the leader of the ruling party.
The statement read: “It is true that enormous pressure was brought to bear on Governor Amosun to move to another party, because of the glaring injustice meted out to some party members at the recent primaries.
“But the governor maintained his stand that he would not decamp, especially on account of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose judgment and sense of justice, as the leader of the party, he cherishes and values immensely.
“For those who know Amosun over the years, his struggles are usually not about his own person but equity, justice and fairness for all, especially the downtrodden masses.
“President Buhari represents this spirit and Amosun will stand by him and with him in any party at all times and at all costs.”
