Former Ogun state governor, Segun Osoba, has accused the current governor, Ibikunle Amosun, of being ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo’s stooge.
Osoba who is now a national leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), was talking at a meeting with traditional chiefs in the state.
He said that Amosun supporters are mostly loyalists of the former head of state.
Speaking at the launch of projects by Gbenga Kaka, the senator representing Ogun East, Osoba revealed that Amosun is a sectional administrator as he has only launched most of his projects in Abeokuta and its environs to the detriment of other towns in the state.
Osoba said that the incumbent has treated his own deputy, Segun Adesegun, unfairly.

Osoba said: “We gave Adesegun as Amosun’s deputy because of his experience as commissioner for works. We had expected that the governor would tap from Adesegun’s wealth of experience in governance but the governor chose otherwise and started constructing bridges where there is no water.
“Amosun really dealt with Adesegun; he maltreated him. Ijebu people should not see the insult meted out to Adesegun as that of Adesegun alone. They should see it as a collective insult. Therefore, it is time for Ijebu people to fight back with their votes. I’m begging you to stop the maltreatment of the Ijebus with your votes.
“It is time to defend yourselves. This is not 1999 election when you voted for your kinsman, Jubril Martins-Kuye, against me. You must show Amosun with your votes come February 28, 2015. All of you must come out en masse and pay Amosun back,” Osoba said.
Osoba went on to accuse the All Progressives Congress of plotting to rig the elections, and begged voters to be careful and resist any form of inducement.
