2026 Guber Election: Osun PDP’s Fixation On Oyetola ‘Condemnable’, Sundry Allegations Against Him ‘Concocted’, ‘False’-APC

Osun State APC has accused the state PDP of fabricating lies and subterfuge against Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, in order to score cheap political points and to also fraudulently shore up the dwindling popularity of the party in the state.

‘It is disheartening to observe that a ruling party in a state like Osun could go to the extent of fabricating barefaced lies against the immediate past governor of the state in order to whip up sentiments and gain public sympathy.

That the state PDP chairman could approve a press statement containing such fabricated lies with the ulterior motive of tarnishing the hard-earned image of the state leader of our party, Alhaji Oyetola, is an indication that Osun State has been unlucky to have the worst set of people managing its affairs at this particular point in time.

We are used to fabrication of stories which has been the hallmark of the ruling party in Osun State but what we did not recognize before now was that the leadership of the rudderless party has graduated to an imaginary level of weaving together of compositions to make them appear as true stories’ the party submitted in a statement issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its state chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal on Tuesday.

.

Osun State APC also clarified and asserted that at no point in time did the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy threaten to rig the forthcoming guber election in the state in connivance with the police and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as alleged by the state PDP.

The party also added that allegations that Alhaji Oyetola told APC stakeholders during the meeting held by the party that he is working  in connivance with the Attorney General of the Federation to create a loophole for ‘the reinstated APC local government chairmen and councillors to access the accumulated local government allocations is untrue’ noting that there could not have been any need for that since the logjam  has been settled by the Court of Appeal judgment of February 10, 2025.

The party has also condemned the state PDP’s fixation on Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola.

‘The obvious and verifiable problem with Governor Ademola Adeleke, the PDP and its handlers is that they are afraid of their shadows at this critical time that their party has become the shadow of its old self as all the good hands in the party have since defected to the opposition APC.

In the first place, there was no closed-door meeting of the APC stakeholders which was only held in the imagination of Governor Adeleke and the state PDP chairman.

Thank God that technology has deflated the balloon of lies woven together by the state PDP chairman and his cohorts where they have the latitude to support their concocted allegations with video reporting which they cannot present.

The brick wall met by Governor Adeleke himself in his fruitless efforts to defect to the APC has been one of the reasons the governor and his cohorts have become needlessly paranoid and suspicious of harmless shadows of the members of the opposition.

It is a common thing among the members of the opposition PDP in Osun State today to blame the state leader of our party, Alhaji Oyetola, who can hardly hurt a fly, for any woe that befalls them.

Accusation of the PDP against Alhaji Oyetola of planning to rig the forthcoming election in the state does not add up because when he was having the apparatus of the state at his disposal, he allowed the rules of law to prevail.

If Governor Adeleke and his co-travellers think our leader would allow the militant wing of the state PDP to massacre our members and supporters in the forthcoming election in a similar manner that no fewer than 30 of them were slaughtered before and during the 2022 and 2023 elections, they are making a mistake as they would meet a resistance with the instrumentality of the law’ the statement said.

Osun State APC urged members of the public to disregard ‘the lies woven together by the Osun State PDP accusing Alhaji Oyetola of planning to rig the forthcoming election’ while calling the allegations balderdash, misplaced and superfluous.

‘The memory of the discerning members of  society is still super active to remember how the same Mr Sunday Bisi, the state chairman of the PDP, falsely accused the Inspector General of Police of planning to assassinate him which he could not prove to date. Is it such a person that should be taken seriously?

It was the same Sunday Bisi who sometimes ago accused the state chapter of the APC of stockpiling arms and ammunition which subsequently proved him to be a pathological liar as it was found out to be a fabrication.

If Governor Adeleke and his co-travellers think that there would be an unfettered allowance for their members and supporters to vote till 11:00 pm as was done during the 2022 governorship election in Ede North and South local governments, they are making a great mistake of their lives as such would be legally resisted’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
