Senator Francis Fadahunsi representing Osun East, has slammed a senatorial aspirant for the district under the All Progressives Congress, Mr Thomas Ogungbangbe over a comment he reportedly made recently.
According to a statement by Omole Oluwasegun Omo-Osodi, the Head of Media and Public Enlightenment for Senator Fadahunsi, Ogungbange, had during a recent APC rally reportedly declared himself the “incoming Senator” during a rally in Ijebu-Jesa.
The statement said Ogungbange, during the women leaders’ rally in Ijebu-Jesa, reportedly declared himself the “incoming Senator,” claiming in Yoruba: “Emi ni incoming Senator, Babawa Fadahunsi ti gbelemi lọwọ” – translating to “Senator Fadahunsi has handed over to me.”
The statement described the senatorial aspirant’s remarks as “careless” and false, noting that “There is never a time our Principal called or met Mr Thomas Ogungbangbe to discuss his ambition.”
Fadahunsi demanded that Ogungbangbe issue a public apology and cease using his name for “cheap popularity.”
“Distinguished Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi OFR is running again and by God’s grace will return to the Senate to represent Osun East,” it concluded.
