Ibikunle Amosun, the Governor of Ogun State has declared that All Progressives Congress (APC) will lose in the upcoming governorship election in the state.

Amosun who has adopted Adekunle Akinlade of Allied Peoples Movement (APM) as his candidate said he will win the governorship election.

The governor also called on the Federal Government not to deploy soldiers to the state for the elections as he assured that the elections would be free of violence.

Amosun made this statement while speaking on Monday at the New Year cross-over fanfare held at Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta.

In his words:

“Let us prove to the world that Ogun State is known for peace and a state which has produced a number of eminent personalities in the country.

“Let us tell them that we don’t need the service of the military and police for the conduct of election because we are going to comport ourselves as peaceful people.

“And for the youth, don’t allow yourself to be used as political thugs. Anybody who approaches for such, tell them to bring out their children to join in the thuggery,” Amosun said.
