Obasanjo dumps PDP candidate, declares support for Amosun

Abeokuta - Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on
Friday thrown his weight behind Governor Ibikunle
Amosun of Ogun State for a second term in office,
reports NewsDay.
Obasanjo told Igbo leaders from Lagos and Ogun states
who visited him at his private residence in Abeokuta that
though he does not belong to the All Progressives
Congress (APC), he could not but admit that the
governor's performance in the last four years has been
outstanding.
He noted that in spite of being in a different political
party with the governor, his choice of Amosun was
based on merit and not that of any political party.
He sought the support of the South-east and other non-
indigenes residents in Ogun State for Amosun in the
February 28 governorship election.
