Adesegun, who spoke with newsmen in a telephone conversation, also said the national leadership of the party could not claim ignorance of some of the issues raised in his letter to Amosun.
The deputy governor noted that there were many other matters that were not raised in the 10-paragraph letter, which were full of allegations on how he had been unjustly treated by the governor.
While reacting to a claim by the national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that the party’s leadership did not receive any letter from the Ogun deputy governor, Adesegun insisted that the leadership knew about every issue raised in the letter.
He explained that the letter was written to Amosun and that he copied relevant stakeholders of the party in the state.
“Alhaji Lai Mohammed is my friend and whatever he says, I will accept. If he said I didn’t send the letter to the national leadership of the party, I will accept. The letter was meant for the governor.
“I copied all members of the Ogun State House of Assembly, the three senators, seven members of the House of Representatives, our leader, Chief Olusegun Osoba, Alhaji Tajudeen Bello, former state interim chairman of APC. I copied the state chairman, Alhaji Roqeeb Adeniji, Chief Olu Agemo and Alhaji Abimbola Awofeso, who are all leaders of the party.
“Three of them were in my house when we accepted Amosun into our party. I was the deputy national treasurer of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and also the youth leader under Chief Bisi Akande’s leadership.
“I didn’t copy the national leadership of the party. There is nothing I wrote in the letter that the leadership did not know about.
“Members of the national leadership may not know the depth, but they couldn’t claim ignorance of the way I am being treated by the governor,” he said.
