2019: Gov. Amosun attacks Tinubu, Osoba over crisis in Ogun APC

Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has accused a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, of hijacking the party’s governorship primary election in the state.

Amosun said this while swearing in Mosunmola Dipeolu, Chief Judge of the state, at government house, Abeokuta, the state capital on Monday.

The Governor wondered why Tinubu and Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of the state, were silent on the controversy which trailed the exercise.

Amosun further accused the leadership of the party of forging results of the primary election in Lagos.

The Governor also that even President Muhammadu Buhari is aware that primary election was not conducted in the state “other than the one we held.”

“He (the president) knows that they just went to Lagos, wrote all results, what they did is fraud. If the national working committee or the national chairman said there was any election in Ogun state, it was all fraud,” Amosun said.

“The issue of Chief Osoba and Asiwaju and co, what we said was that there was a deafening silence from their end, and silence means consent. We have not heard a word from any of them. Was there any election in Ogun state? Yes or No? They should come out and speak… they are hiding behind one finger, they cannot come out.”

The Governor had said he was under pressure to leave the party following the outcome of the primary election.

The party’s national working committee had cleared Dapo Abiodun as winner of the primary against the wish of Amosun whose candidate is Abiodun Akinlade.

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country.
