●Warns Against Denigration of the State Governor
The Osun chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alerted security agencies of an insider plot by the opposition to set its Secretariat and campaign offices on fire in a bid to sabotage existing peace in Osun State.
The party in a statement said it uncovered the plot on Thursday night and alerted security operatives who deployed personnel to prevent self-inflicted arson by the disgruntled opposition elements.
According to the ruling party in the state, the opposition operatives were shocked that their evil plots were bursted, hence the fake news being circulated of purported plans to burn down the APC related structures.
The statement signed by Hon Sunday Bisi, the state chairman of the PDP, alerted security agencies that despite the foiling of the opposition’s evil plan on Thursday evening, elements within the opposition are still hell-bent on implementing the self-orchestrated attacks and arson to be blamed on the ruling party in the state.
“It is to that end that we urge the Police and the secret service to summon the state APC leaders for interrogation to prevent disruption of peace in Osun State.
“Unless the opposition leaders are promptly interrogated, the state may be exposed to danger from an opposition group that is as violent-minded as to plan to set ablaze its own structures to score political points.
“At this point, the state APC leaders should be aware that security reports on its evil plot have reached Abuja and that her leaders would be held responsible for any breakdown of law and order in Osun State.
“We submit that the opposition is worried that Governor Ademola Adeleke has successfully managed the national protest in Osun State without any untowards incidents. We warn against dark elements within the APC who are seeking blood and destruction to blackmail the state government.
“We must particularly chide the state Chairman of the APC for his cyberstalking and personal attacks on Gov Ademola Adeleke, an action that defies morality and constitutes unacceptable infractions.
“We call the attention of the security agencies to the constant cyber stalking and total disrespect for the office of the state Governor by the APC state chairman even as we declare our readiness to take appropriate legal action if the infraction and libelous activities continue”, the party leader posited.
While assuring the people of Osun state of peace and stability despite the antics of the APC, Hon Bisi affirmed that the state government is monitoring the protest situation and is determined to ensure Osun retains its position as a peaceful state despite the ongoing national protest.
“Our strategy is working and we will not allow APC to plunge the state into crisis. It is for this reason that we strongly warn opposition elements trying to hijack the protest and destabilise the state to desist as it will be seriously resisted”, the party leader noted.
