Showunmi: I remain Ogun PDP governorship candidate


The spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the 2019 presidential election, Otunba Segun Showunmi, has insisted that he remains the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State.

Showunmi said he emerged winner of a primary election held at the NUJ Secretariat, Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, on May 25.

But, the party in Ogun State has said the primary election conducted same day at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), which returned Mr Ladi Adebutu as the candidate, is the only recognised one.

On Thursday, the Chairman of the PDP in Ogun State, Sikirulahi Ogundele, stated that anyone who thinks he had won the party’s ticket through a parallel congress was only “living in fool's paradise.”

Reacting, Showunmi emphasised that he had no time to exchange words with anyone as he had been busy working on the strategy document for Ogun new deal.

The PDP chieftain maintained that he had met with a Jamaican, Dr Paul Bryant, whom he described as one of the best behavioural change strategists.

“While some were busy talking trash, I was busy with one of the best behavioural change strategists, Dr Paul Bryant, my Jamaican brother working on the strategy document on the Ogun New Deal with bold ideas,” he said.

Showunmi explained that Ogun needs behavioural change to stem the tide of ritual killings, cult clashes, kidnapping among others.

He promised to be the best governor Ogun has ever had if elected.

He disclosed that his concept paper is now being sent across the globe for input.


“I promise I will be the very best Governor Ogun State has ever had if you all are bold enough to send me. Our concept paper is now being sent to the best across the globe for input and some people who are totally without capacity think it's about them. I am so excited about what we plan to implement,” it was said.
