The four ward chairmen, councilors, local government appointees, party executives and leaders of the party in the community unanimously promised their loyalty and allegiance to ensure the re-election of Governor Abiodun.
The party members made the endorsement after a stakeholders' meeting held in the community on Tuesday
Addressing party faithful, the Chairman, Oke-Ogun Community, Ifekayode Akinbode, urged residents of the state, to support the re-election of Governor Abiodun for continuity of the development of the state economy.
"We have only endorsed Governor Dapo Abiodun for the second term and we have promised our loyalty and allegiance to him so that he can be re-elected in 2023 to 2027. Anybody who is aspiring in Oke Ogun should come forward and by the time the entire leaders decide we would know who we will follow at the appropriate time", he stated
Akinbode who is the Consultant to the Governor on Media said the community was satisfied and convinced by the performance of the governor since he assumed office in 2019.
Some members of the community had staged a protest on Monday, accusing leaders of the party in the community of engaging in misconduct, declaring that the alleged removal of one Ahmed Taiwo as the chairman of the party in the community was illegal.
But Akinbode while speaking with the party members implored the aggrieved members of the party in the community to submit their grieviances to the party secretariat rather than protesting.
"I do not believe in allegations that are not substansiated. I have appealed to them that they should retrace their steps, if at all they have any grievances they should bring it up", he added.
Leaders of the party however affirmed Akinbode as the party chairman in the community.
This affirmation was stated in a letter addressed to the Ogun State Chairman of the APC, Yemi Sanusi.
The letter which was obtained by our correspondent was duly signed by the ward chairmen, councilors, L
local government appointees, party executives and leaders of the party in the community.
The letter partly reads: "Prince Ifekayode Akinbode has been unanimously chosen due to his pedigree being an indigene of Oke Ogun Community and also the highest political office holder from the community.
"We, therefore, write to inform you that anything that has to do with Oke Ogun Community be directed to him henceforth".
