Osun state PDP on Thursday accused the state APC of planning to attack the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sittings venue in Osogbo, the state capital.
Dr Adekunle Akindele, who is the Chairman of the state PDP Caretaker Committee, alleged in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Thursday that the alarm raised earlier in the day by the APC was actually an ‘attention shifting’ strategy.
‘Our attention has been drawn to the false alarm raised by the opposition All Progressives Congress about a purported plot to attack the State High Court by hoodlums. We want to alert the public that APC has adopted a subterfuge of leveling allegations on a plot it has perfected.
Members of the public will recall that a few months ago, two APC members were arrested with loaded guns at the entrance of the State High Court while the Tribunal proceedings were ongoing. Only the prompt intervention of vigilant members of the public saved the situation on that day. When the APC now raises an alarm about a planned attack, we are apprehensive. We have the feeling that the APC has a sinister plot to launch an attack on the Tribunal sittings venue. Aware of its very bad case at the Tribunal, the APC is scheming to create mayhem to disrupt the sitting.
We consequently call on the Commissioner of Police to invite the acting Chairman of APC and his media adviser for questioning. The two of them probably have insight into the alleged plot to disrupt the Tribunal sitting. Their testimonies will assist the Police in the maintenance of law and order.
We also use this opportunity to reassure the public that the state government is on top of the situation. No opposition party will be allowed to turn Osun into a battleground. The sitting tomorrow will be peaceful and we are convinced that the Tribunal will eventually validate and confirm the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as Governor of Osun State’ the statement said -Team@orientactualmags.com
