Former Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun has said he is in the race for Ogun Central senatorial seat.
He said although three senatorial aspirants from the district had visited him to seek his support for their ambition, they volunteered that if he was interested in contesting, they would withdraw their aspiration.
Amosun clarified that he never asked any aspirant to step down for him during the meeting of All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders held at the home of the party leader, Aremo Segun Osoba, in Abeokuta.
He said in a statement that “nowhere throughout the meeting did I request anyone to withdraw from the race for me because that would be undemocratic and unacceptable.”
Amosun added: “I wish to reiterate that I am not only a democrat, I have also contested and won election twice to the office of Governor of Ogun State and twice as a Senator of the Federal Republic.
“What I said at the meeting, which I reiterate is that I will not be part of a primary election whose result is predetermined.
“I advise the media to report proceedings of meetings correctly by cross-checking accounts given by interested parties.”
