Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Ogun State is in hot soup as his governorship ambition to succeed incumbent Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has run into a brick wall.
Bimbo Ashiru
Recently, all the All Progressives Congress (APC) former Local Government Chairmen in Ogun East Senatorial district where he hails from rejected him. Besides, they equally issued a statement to his rejection.
Communiqué Issued At The End Of Emergency Meeting On Imposition Of Bimbo Ashiru By Ijebu Agenda On Apc Ogun East
Following the unconstitutional imposition by a group called Ijebu Agenda who are neither party members nor constitutionally constituted by APC or any organ of the party to choose any candidate as the flag bearer of the party, we resolved that the display of undemocratic and barbaric character by the so called Ijebu Agenda is not only condemnable but null and void.
The imposition of this magnitude can only be done in dark hours of the days rather than the day light robbery carried out under tight security of policemen and soldier.
In this wise, we believe that aspirants should be allowed to express their fundamental rights as entrenched in the constitution of federal republic of Nigeria and slated in our party APC.
To this effect, all nominations for elective position should go in conformity with Democratic principles as slated in our party constitution.
We implore all to jettisoned the drama displayed by the selfish body parading themselves Ijebu Agenda which has nothing to do with APC guidelines of nominating candidates for elective position yet to be released by the national body of APC.
