AK Party Secretary General and Izmir Deputy Eyyüp Kadir İnan responded to CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who claimed that İnan was "trying to obstruct service to Izmir." İnan said, "We will not refrain from working for Izmir because of your delusions and slanders. Our stance is clear: we are at the service of everyone who contributes to Izmir."
AK Party General Secretary and Izmir Deputy Eyyüp Kadir İnan responded harshly on his social media account to the statements made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel in Izmir.
WHAT DID ÖZGÜR ÖZEL SAY?
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, in his speech at the opening of the Ferdi Zeyrek Bayraklı District Sports Complex, targeted Eyyüp Kadir İnan, saying, "This man has somehow risen to important positions in the ruling party, and he uses his power there to stop services in this city and work against it. When their young people achieve something, they try to block services to Izmir."
“YOUR CHAIRMANSHIP IS TAINTED”
Responding to Özel's remarks on social media, İnan said, "There is not a single moment of ‘haphazardness’ in my political history, but your chairmanship is tainted by bribery and delegate trading."
“INSTEAD OF CURSING ON WHATSAPP…”
In the continuation of his statement, İnan targeted the CHP leadership, saying:
“Before slandering us, turn around and ask the protocol sitting there—those metropolitan and district mayors—whether they receive support or not.
If they are not telling you the truth, we are not going to fix the disorganization in your communication.
Instead of cursing at your friends on WhatsApp, go and get accurate information from your own mayors.
Keep them away from yourself and your corrupt friends so that they can produce some work.”
“WE ARE AT THE SERVICE OF THOSE WHO ADD STONE UPON STONE FOR IZMIR”
At the end of his statement, İnan emphasized service to Izmir, saying, “Our stance is clear: We are at the service of everyone who adds stone upon stone for Izmir.”
