Ogun APC crisis: Amosun visits Buhari again

Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, on Tuesday, visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he met behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari for about two hours.
Amosun had last Thursday met separately with Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over political developments in his state.
Though agenda of the meeting between Buhari and the governor was not made public, it is believed the governor updated the president on political happenings that trailed the conduct of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in the South-West state.
The APC National Working Committee panel sent to Ogun State for the conduct of the governorship primary had on Wednesday night declared Prince Dapo Abiodun as the party’s governorship candidate in the 2019 general elections.
This declaration came some hours after the state chapter of the APC also declared Amosun’s preferred candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, as the governorship candidate.
The governor had at the weekend allegedly accused some political interest group of `misinforming’ Buhari about `political equation’ in Ogun.
Amosun, who made the accusation on a national television during the live coverage of the APC senatorial primary in the state, vowed that his preferred candidate for the governorship seat, Akinlade, would emerge victorious at the end of the `political dispute’.
