Former Deputy Speaker, Lasun Yussuff Alleges Threat To Life
The former Deputy Speaker, House of Representative and governorship candidate of Labour Party in Osun State, Hon. Lasun Yussuff has alleged threat to his life.
Addressing newsmen in Osogbo on Friday, Hon Yussuff said that his political opponents have sponsored some thugs to be after his life and disturb his gubernatorial campaign.
While putting the security operatives in the state on red alert, the Labour Party flag bearer said that his campaign office was attacked on Thursday adding that all these ugly attacks on his personality and campaign office point to the fact that his life and all others involved in his gubernatorial campaign in Osun are in serious danger.
His words: “Happenings in recent times, particularly since we secured the ticket of the Labour Party to contest the July, 16th 2022 election in Osun State, there have been some unusual behavior by certain individuals and groups towards me and my Campaign Team.
“As a politician, believe/think this is one of those antics in politics by some politicians until I started noticing open confrontations being carried too far which the public, especially security agents, must be aware of”.
The former lawmaker said his campaign is based on issues and programs premised on changing the narratives for Osun and its people.
“The sitting Governor and other contestants are hereby advised to desist from thuggery and hooliganism and let our campaigns be based on sound debates focused on issues and our programs for Osun economic growth and development” the governorship hopeful advised.
Lasun Yussuff who did not point accusing finger at anybody or group advised aspirations to allow peaceful electoral process in the state.
