Ibikunle Amosun, the immediate past governor of Ogun, has publicly thrown his weight behind the candidacy of the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Biyi Otegbeye.
Mr Amosun, an APC Senator representing Ogun Central in the National Assembly, spoke during an interview with BBC Yoruba monitored by Quest Times on Monday.
He stated that although he will campaign and vote for the presidential candidate of the ruling party, he will work against the governorship candidate, Governor Dapo Abiodun.

The senator stepped down his presidential ambition for Bola Tinubu during the June 6-8 national convention of the party.
Mr Amosun, who did not give details of the reason for his stance, fell out with the governor in 2019, prior to the APC primaries in the State.
Mr Abiodun became the APC candidate in Ogun through a parallel primary election held in the state.
The face-off forced Mr Amosun to field his anointed candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Mr Akinlade later defected to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, where he may be running as the deputy governorship candidate of the party.
Following the defection of Mr Akinlade, Mr Amosun backed the Ogun west senatorial district born who is under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), for governor.
