The gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party in the 2022
Osun gubernatorial election, Lasun Yusuf has stated that his political fortunes
in the progressive fold is suffering as a direct consequence of his father’s
actions.
The former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives made
this known during a radio political programme in
Osogbo, on Monday.
Yusuf, who alleged that the progressives have been blocking
all his political moves because his father who was a stalwart of the Alliance
for Democracy (AD) decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2002,
added that his own defection to the Labour Party was because the All
Progressives Congress (APC) no longer viewed him as a valued member.
The Labour Party guber candidate also revealed that he could
never kowtow to the Lagos progressives.
In his words, “Lagos progressives calculated that if he had
become governor, he would want to contest for president by now.”
Speaking on his emergence as Deputy Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Lasun Yusuff said Osun APC fought him for many years.
He revealed that the disagreement over his deputy
speakership position was because it did not align with the aspirations of Bola
Ahmed Tinubu.
The Ilobu-born politician, however, assured the people of
Osun that if he emerged governor of the State, he will strengthen the economy
of the State.
