The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday, hit back at the lawmaker representing Ede-North/Ede-South, Egbedore, Ejigbo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Bamidele Salam, over his comments on its gubernatorial candidate, Mr Bola Oyebamiji.
It would be recalled that Salam while featuring on Channels Television Station on Tuesday, said Oyebamiji is a weakling who can’t win his local government.
Reacting in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, the APC said it was uncharitable of Salam to have described Oyebamiji as ‘a weakling’ who will not be able to win his federal constituency during the forthcoming election.
“We know where Salam is coming from and we are not surprised that he could make such an unsubstantiated and utterly reckless statement about our governorship candidate who has distinguished himself as a huge and exemplary success in both his private and public life as against his preferred governorship candidate who is a perpetual satellite human being in his over six decades in his journey of life,” the party said.
The statement added that the federal lawmaker during the interview, showed that he was pained that the APC rejected the overtures of Governor Ademola Adeleke to defect into the party.
“We are stating here unequivocally that no amount of outbursts from Salam and his political co-travellers would prevent the imminent loss of his political idol in the forthcoming governorship election as the exhibited best of the incumbent governor in his close to four years in the corridor of power in the state has proven that he lacks what it takes to take the state to the Eldorado,” Olabisi noted.
