Governor of Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has dismissed suggestions that he might be on his way to the Accord Party (AP).
He also says he will rather run a government whose achievements are visible for all to see than a government on billboards.
The governor at an interactive session with reporters in Abeokuta on Friday night said that he could only endear himself to people of the State by continually putting in place, structures that would transform positively their socio – economic status among others and not by posting his posters all over the place or allow the state – owned radio or television station to be used to sing the government praises.
He warned employees of the state owned television, OGTV, to jettison such unprofessional practice, which he said, was not representing him or the state well.
Governor Amosun denied that he planned to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Accord Party (AP) floated by the former Governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja.
He expressed shock at reports that he would move over to the AP should his alleged rift with former governor Olusegun Osoba rob him of a second term ticket in APC.
Amosun said, “They said I was in Ibadan to see Ladoja on how I’m going to move to Accord Party because they (APC) are not going to give me ticket and I begin to wonder.
“In fact, I think the last time I met Ladoja was when (Governor Abiola) Ajimobi was burying his mother. He (Ladoja) came to greet me. Is it me that will go to another party? So, when they begin to say that, I just think it is just one politician that is using them.”
