Opposition Cannot Deny Amosun’s Giant Strides In Ogun State- Obasanjo
Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that the manifestation of the good works of Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s administration in Ogun State are such that even the opposition and critics in the state can’t deny.
Obasanjo who lauded the Governor for his performance in the last 34 months, said though accurate assessment of elected or appointed office holders are better done when such people are out of power, but added that he would “stick out” his “neck” to appraise Amosun now.
According to Obasanjo who was a former Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Amosun’s performance is “good.”
The former President made this known in Abeokuta, the Ogun State, on Wednesday, at the occasion marking his 77th birthday in his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL).
He said: “normally I don’t like to say things about politicians especially when they are still in power. It is only when politicians are out of power that you can assess them accurately but this one, I will stick out my neck a little bit. So far, so fairly good.
“Those of you who were here in Ogun state will testify. Even if you belong to a party which doesn’t like the governor, you must say yes I didn’t lie. I must thank you for what you’re doing for all of us.”
Governor Amosun who was among the dignitaries that graced Obasanjo’s birthday, described the former President as a “leader” whose love for the continued progress, unity and survival of Nigeria is second to none.
