Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Friday evening declared he does not fear forces within the All Progressives Congress (APC) working against his interests in the forthcoming general elections.<\/p>\n

He said he only fears God and President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

He spoke when received a letter of endorsement from the Allied People\u2019s Movement (APM) for President Muhammadu Buhari as its presidential candidate for the February 2019 presidential polls.<\/p>\n

Amosun, who took delivery of the endorsement letter from the governorship candidate of APM, Hon. Abdulkabir Akinlade, at the APC Secretariat on Abiola Way, Abeokuta, the state capital, for onward transfer to Buhari, also insisted the Chief Derin Adebiyi-led excos will serve its four years term in full.<\/p>\n

He spoke just as the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party appointed Yemi Sanusi (Chairman); Ayo Olubori (Secretary) and Tunde Oladunjoye (Publicity Secretary) to serve as caretaker committee of Ogun APC.<\/p>\n

The Adams Oshiomhole-led NWC last Wednesday dissolved the APC executives in Ogun state and Imo State but Adebiyi has since dismissed the dissolution as an exercise in \u201cfutility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amosun said: \u201cYou know me by now. For me, I fear God and I respect people. So, it won\u2019t be because we are afraid or we don\u2019t want to talk.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201dWe don\u2019t fear them. All of them put together, we don\u2019t fear anybody. We fear God and we fear President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere we are now, what we should concentrate in doing is to let them know is that here in Ogun State, this is the home of President Buhari and we must vote massively for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the home of APC. We must let them know that come February 16, 2019, by the benevolence of the Almighty Lord\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are human. We are no God and that is why we are telling them that in this coming election, in this Ogun State, it is whoever all of you (people) decide to back that will win the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the best way to answer them is through our action. And what is the action? We will use our votes to let them know who owns this Ogun state.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, if they are looking for state to destroy them, they should not think of Ogun State. We are ready for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to let them be for the sake of President Buhari. If not for the President, we know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on: \u201cJust ignore them. Don\u2019t engage them for anything. Let us be focused and redouble our efforts so that in the coming election, we are going to answer them with our votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to assure you that this executive that God has used you to put together, the executive will be there for the next four years. They will serve their<\/p><\/div>\n
