A group of Ogun West Elders' Council on Thursday came hard on a two time governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba describing him as an enemy of their Zone.
The Council, which addressed newsmen at the Iwe Iroyin Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists', also said Chief Osoba was responsible for their inability to clinch the governorship seat of the state since its creation in 1976 also berating his anti-Ogun West position in clinching the state governorship seat in 2019.
He added that, due to Amosun's public and repeated assurance that he would hand over power to Yewa candidate in 2019, the leaders from Ogun West Senatorial District had to support Governor Amosun against Chief Osoba when the was leadership tussle between the two leaders in 2014 and the crisis led to Osoba leaving APC to SDP in the wake of the 2015 general elections.
"Chief Osoba could not win a single seat in the State House of Assembly. In any case, did the leader, himself win his polling unit. Did the SDP gubernatorial candidate win his unit. Did the SDP Chairman win his polling unit. That election showed clearly who owned "the papa's land," Olagbaye said.
He noted that with Osoba's position on the 2019 governorship seat and Ogun West agenda, the elder statesman has not changed its mind in thwarting Ogun West agenda of becoming Ogun State governor in 2019.
"When he talked about "party", one wonders which party he was talking about; APC or SDP. By his latest statement, it shows tha Chief Osoba is still anti-Amosun and Anti-Ogun West," Olagbaye said.
