In an exclusive interview with BBC Yoruba, the former Ogun governor said:
“I don’t hide behind one finger to fight. That’s why people say to me ‘don’t say that.’ On governorship, my supporters and I, we don’t belong to that side.
“Biyi Otegbeye is the person I am supporting and ADC is the party.”
However, for the presidential election, Amusun said he will vote for APC's presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In the interview monitored by Daily Trust, Amosun was quoted to have said:
“For the presidential poll, I can assure you, both right, left and centre, we are supporting one person (Tinubu). I believe we are supporting one person. On the governorship poll, that’s a different ball game. I don’t belong there."
