Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, one of the gubernatorial aspirants under the All Progressives Congress who stepped down for Mr Bola Oyebamiji, has collapsed his political structure for the APC candidate.
Ogunbiyi, while addressing journalists on Saturday, said his supporters would not work to ensure that Oyebamiji wins the August 08 election.
I organise my supporters across the state to debrief them on the decision of our leaders. Progressive is a party that believes in leadership and the direction that the leaders have taken.
He said his Idera De movement will now be collapsed into the party structure and work according to the dictates of the leadership of the party.
He said, “Every one of us had a meeting, and we resolved that everyone of us will work. We will do everything within our respective constituencies to ensure that Bola Oyebamiji emerges as the governor of Osun State from August this year.
“The most important thing is for Bola Oyebamiji to emerge as the elected governor. If that happens, by the grace of God, I, Akin Ogunbiyi, from Iwo Federal constituency, by the special grace of God and the support of our leaders, I will emerge as the senator of the West.
“There is no Idera De Movement across the state any longer. There is APC movement across the state and that is what we have come to tell our supporters today. APC is APC, and it is a party that we all carry and have to work for.”
Ogunbiyi, however, appealed to the APC leaders to ensure that they unify all members of the party to ensure victory.
“But for that to happen, our leaders need to quickly move to hold consultations and hold meetings to quickly unify everybody behind the party,” the APC chieftain added.
