Again, Buhari, Amosun Meet in Aso Rock

President Muhammadu Buhari Thurday again met with the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting, THISDAY gathered, was believed to be a continuation of efforts aimed at resolving the crisis that trailed the primary elections of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country.

Amosun is one of the governors elected on the platform of the APC aggrieved by the outcome of the party’s primary elections.

The party’s National Working Committee (NWC) refused to recognise his preferred candidate for the governorship race.

Amosun and his counterparts, Rochas Okorocha (Imo State) and Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo State), have been at the forefront of those campaigning for the removal of Adams Oshiomhole as the party’s national chairman for the role he allegedly played during the primary elections.

The Ogun State governor, however, in an interview with State House correspondents yesterday, denied being responsible for Oshiomhole’s reported arrest and interrogation by the Department of State Services.

He said he would never hide behind a finger if he needed to fight.

When asked that media reports suggested that he and Okorocha orchestrated Oshiomhole’s investigation, Amosun said, “I think you are probably giving me an oversight role and I am not a security person; so, clearly I think that question will not be for me.

“I don’t have to hide under a finger to fight. If there is need for me to put my views across, you know me by now that I will do it.”
