The Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) has
dissociated itself from the endorsement of the gubernatorial ambition of the Speaker,
Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Suraj Adekunbi.
The Ogun State Secretary of the
party, Alhaji Moruf Popoola who made this known in a statement made available
to Newsworldpremium, said that the reported endorsement of Adekunbi by UPN and
some other political parties in Yewa, at Ayetoro was not attended by any UPN executive,
as well as any of its members in that region.
Popoola alleged that one Adelakun
Abdullateef who stood in for UPN at the Ayetoro adoption, was an imposter and was
never a UPN member nor a member of any working committee of the party in the
state.
He said “While we would have
ordinarily chosen to ignore the Ananias, we understand that when a lie is
allowed to fester, it will be taken as truth.
“The imposter, Adelakun Abdullateef
who stood in for UPN at the Ayetoro adoption was never a UPN member nor a member
of any working committee of our party in the state.”
He added “It is common sense that,
when the party has several gubernatorial aspirants jostling to occupy the seat
of power in the gateway state come 2019, how on earth would any card Carrier
and loyal member of the party abandoned its own aspirants for other people's
cause.
“It is however pathetic that,
someone in the caliber of Rt. Hon. Suraj Adekumbi who is yearning to govern the
state could desperately misinform the general public about a non-existent adoption
by UPN.”
“We hereby condemn the desperation
of the Speaker in maligning the integrity of our party and playing on the
sensibility of the people of Ogun state.”
He urged members and followers of
the party, both home and abroad to disregard, what he described as the fake
adoption of Hon. Suraj Adekunbi by UPN.
