ALLIED PEOPLES MOVEMENT GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE, AKINLADE, APPOINTS FORMER MINISTER, SARAFA ISHOLA AS CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR-GENERAL

The Governorship Candidate while speaking further, said the party put in place the team to  effectively run the campaign , with the inclusion of brilliant, tested and committed members of the team assembled

Penpushing further reports that, Akinlade said the imposition of candidates and open hostility to the duly elected party leadership in the state under the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), compelled him and his followers to look for an alternative platform.

He said, the mission of the outgoing governor who is in support of his (Akinlade) course must be sustained and fast tracked to a logical conclusion in order to ensure peaceful succession, orderliness and sustainable development of the state.

‘To run an effective and organized campaign, we have put together a brilliant, tested and committed campaign team ever assembled in Ogun State because we are determined to win freely ,fairly and convincingly’,Akinlade explained

The Candidate declared that the larger interest of the state must not be sacrificed at the altar of self-seeking minority, adding that central to the rebuilding mission is the struggle against marginalization of people of Ogun West Senatorial District

‘No indigene of the Senatorial Zone has been elected Governor since the creation of the State in 1976. This is against the spirit of fairness, equity and justice. The case has been vigorously championed over the years by key political leaders across Ogun State’, he emphasized.

In his remark, the Campaign Director General, explained that he accepted the offer, to join the team in fighting injustice that was meted out to the former members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who are now with the Allied Peoples Movement, APM

The Director said, the party governorship candidate is the answer to the yearnings of the people of Ogun West to produce a Governor since the creation of Ogun State, a person he described as a gentleman, seasoned professional and tested hand.

Penpushing also reports that, Ishola disclosed that, the official commissioning of the secretariat is scheduled for Tuesday and flag off of the party campaign will start from Thursday, December 20 at Moshood Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta, the State Capital
