A former Minister of State for Education , Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, has accused the duo of Vice – President Yemi Osinbajo and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, of being the masterminds of the ongoing crisis rocking the APC governorship primary in Ogun State.
She made the allegation on Wednesday during a media chat in Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The ex – minister was working to ensure that the next governor of the state comes from Ogun West. She said it saddened her that no one from the zone had governed the state since it was created 42 years ago.
She said she and other Ogun West elders began the struggle for the “ emancipation †of the zone over 30 years ago .
“I am really hurt . I’ m disturbed and feel like crying with this development .
After two times shifting, APC members in the state trooped-out, on Tuesday, to vote in the presence of INEC officials.
“ But I was shocked to discover that some APC members , backed by the Vice-President and Oshiomhole , conducted another direct primary .
“He (Osinbajo ) did his politics in Lagos . He came to be Vice-President from Lagos but we cannot deny that he is an indigene of Ogun State.
“ But for us , I have been in politics for 35 years . We don’ t know him in the politics of Ogun State.
“ The only thing we knew about him is that he was a commissioner in Lagos State and his brother was a commissioner here in Ogun State and many times we met, they were very respectful .
“ So , how do we feel that he would be the one that is trying to rock the boat here ?
“ But Oshiomhole , everybody knows him . And if he is faulting the system here, what about the system that made him the national chairman of our party? How clean was the process? And now he wants to turn everything upside down for us here.
“ So , we are begging all law-abiding people , all the citizens of Nigeria to please caution our national chairman and other people that are fueling trouble to put Ogun State on fire . â€
