2022 Guber Race: A Family Is Claiming Ownership Of Osun PDP In The Name Of ‘A Money Bag’ – Akin Ogunbiyi Laments, Speaks On His New Party

The Chairman, Mutual Benefits Assurance, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, on Monday announced that he would still participate in the July 16 Osun governorship election.

Ogunbiyi, who recently resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, also said a new platform on which he would contest the election would soon be announced.

Speaking to newsmen on the sidelines of an event organised by a group, Civil Society Committee for Anti-Fraud Election Security with the theme: ‘A critical need for a credible Osun 2022 Guber-Poll: A reference case for 2023 General election,’ he expressed hope of a good outing at the poll.

Ogunbiyi urged his supporters to exercise patience and assured them that very soon, the direction to follow would be unveiled.

He said, “Unfortunately, a secondary school dropout is contesting to be the governor of a noble state like Osun. We are all looking and when things go haywire for the state, we will all be asking how such a thing befell the state.

“Let us focus on good governance which can only come from those people who are leading us. I am still in the Osun governorship race, by God’s grace my name will appear on the ballot paper, and I will soon take a party.

“I believe Osun people are still looking for my participation (in the poll) and I am confident of winning it by God’s grace. I urge my supporters to be patient and in a couple of days, I will give directions for them to follow.

“Unfortunately, a family is claiming the ownership of PDP in the name of ‘a money bag.’ I am not a money bag but what I am presenting to Osun is my brain, reputation, training and track record as an entrepreneur,” Ogunbiyi concluded. CONTINUE READING…
