Osun APC/PDP Biker Over Oyetola’s Attack
By Taiye Lawal
Osun State Chapter of the main opposition party in the state, the Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Party have disagreed over the violent attack on Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on Saturday.
The governor had blamed the attack on his convoy while addressing #EndSARS protesters at the popular Olaiya junction on Saturday on political thugs and hoodlums.
But the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party in a statement by the Acting Chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi described the claim as callous and fallacious.
Bisi noted that as the chief security officer of the state the governor lacked the nerve or security intelligence support to name those behind the purported attack on his life more than 48hours after the incident.
He insisted that the APC imported thugs and thuggery into Osun State by legalizing State Boys by APC administration in Osun.
“The state will also not forget in a hurry, how APC flooded Osun State with arrays of thugs when it became apparent that it was going to lose the 2018 governorship election in the Osun.
While commiserating with the governor over the unwarranted assault, PDP called on the governor to set all necessary machinery in motion to track down the attackers who instigated the assault on his person that degenerated into the killing of the two Nigerians.
Reacting, the ruling All Progressives Congress through its Director of Publicity Research and Strategy, Barrister Kunle Oyatomi described PDP claim as irrational, disgusting, illogical, empty and far from the reality.
APC said that, it is even better for PDP in Osun to keep mute than fabricate unfounded lies purposely to misinform the publics, adding that the opposition’s claim not only lack merit but confused and absurd.
Oyatomi explained that, it is absolutely illogical for the opposition to even think of such, and it is not even possible for a reasonable person to instigate or invite his or her friends to attack him or her to the point of assassination attempt on their sponsors, adding that it is only a confused mind or group that will have that dastardly thought.
He contended that “without mincing words, security agencies have been called to investigate the attack so that those sponsored hoodlums and their sponsors will be brought to justice to serve as a deterrent”.
