The Congress for Progressive Change in Ogun State has disowned its governorship candidate in the 2011 gubernatorial election, Wale Okunniyi, over the recent emergence of campaign posters in parts of the state, proclaiming him the party’s flagbearer in the 2015 poll.

This is coming on the heels of a statement credited Okunniyi, in w2hich he was said to have vowed that the CPC bloc within the All Progressives Congress would produce a candidate that would vie for the guberbatorial ticket of the newly formed party in the state with Governor Ibikunle Amosun for the 2015 poll.

The CPC, which along with the All Nigeria Peoples Party, recently merged with the Action Congress of Nigeria to form the APC, has however assured Amosun, the incumbent governor of the state, of its loyalty and support.

The CPC, in a statement jointly signed by its State Chairman, Adekunle Mudashiru; and Publicity Secretary, Sina Oduntan, stressed that the party in the state had yet to pick a governorship candidate before its merger with the ANPP and ACN to form the APC.

The party, therefore, urged the ACN and the ANPP as well as the public “to be wary of the antics” of Okunniyi and his supporters.

But Okunniyi, in his reaction, said he should not be misunderstood as having endorsed Governor Amosun as the APC gubernatorial candidate for the 2015 poll.

He stressed that the CPC bloc within the newly formed APC would in Ogun State produce the next governor of the state.

In a statement by his Media Consultant, Olubori Obafemi, on Sunday, said, “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state clearly that at no time or forum did the CPC governorship candidate, Olawale Okunniyi, have any discussion or agreement with either Senator Amosun or any of the leaders of the APC over the endorsement of the sitting governor, Ibikunle Amosun, for the 2015 governorship race in Ogun state.”
