Veteran journalist and former presidential candidate, Chief Dele Momodu has blamed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), especially President Bola Tinubu for the crisis that has trailed the recently conducted local government elections in Osun state.
While commending the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, Momodu in an interview with Tribune said President Tinubu is desperate to control all the states in the South-West because of his reelection in 2027.
His words “I think what is happening right now is that APC is already preparing for 2027 presidential election and Tinubu believes that if he does not control the entire South West very aggressively, that his presidency might be in danger. That is what is going on, nothing else”.
“And, since Tinubu is said to be originally from Osun State but has adopted Lagos as his origin, which is allowed, I guess he also wants a stake in the land of his ancestors which is Osun State”.
“However, it can be done in a subtle way, make sure that the people of Osun see the impact of your presidency but today, that is not happening and Governor Adeleke is almost in absolute control of Osun State and that is what APC has to live with. Besides, I have not seen a politician of note in Osun who says he wants APC back”.
