2019: Adebayo Shittu Abandons Buhari/osinbajo Campaign Office, Now For Let


Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, whose name was
struck out of the list of cleared gubernatorial aspirants for APC
primaries in Oyo State, has abandoned the Buhari/Osinbajo campaign
office.

According to Daily Post, Adebayo Shittu closed down the
South West campaign office for President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice
President, Yemi Osinbajo ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The Buhari/Osinbajo campaign office whose inauguration was attended
by former Governor of Abia state, Chief Orji Kalu and former Senate
President, Ken Nnamani, is strategically located along Mokola-Ojoo Road
in the heart of Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, and was meant to serve as
the campaign office of Buhari and Osinbajo in the South West region,
gubernatorial campaign office and Ministerial office of the embattled
Minister, Shittu.

It was gathered that the banners and
photographs which were earlier put up during the commissioning of the
building have been removed, and the building has been offered for let
after the Minister closed it.

The Buhari/Osinbajo campaign office
which was commissioned on Saturday, 20 January 2018, has been deserted
after it was abandoned and closed by the Minister ten months after the
commissioning. Residents of Veterinary, Oke-Itunu and Mokola and other
people have also taken the advantage of the compound surrounded and over
grown by weeds to dump refuse.

The Minister of Communications
who claimed that the house was rented to him (Shittu) by Hon. Ajibola
Muraina, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, added that the fact
that the rent had terminated does not mean that Shittu is abandoning
campaign for Buhari/Osinbajo ticket.

Aderogba, a cousin to the Minister said:

“To
start with, the building in question is not owned by Barrister Adebayo
Shittu but was rented from one Barrister Hon. Ajibola Muraina, a PDP
chieftain.

“Secondly, the fact that the rent was terminated is
not conclusive that Barr. Shittu is abandoning campaigning for Buhari/
Osinbajo ticket as we are aware that Barr. Shittu is already making
arrangements for a new and better location for coordinating campaigns
for Buhari and Osinbajo’s reelection.

“Furthermore, Barrister
Adebayo Shittu remains one of the most loyal, the most trusted and the
most beloved ministers in the Buhari presidency.”
