Gov Adeleke Accuses Opposition Parties Of Plotting Violence

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has accused opposition parties in the state of planning to carry out violence citing ‘credible intelligence reports’ . He said, ‘elements within the opposition parties’ are planning to ‘launch vicious attacks on local government secretariats across the state’.

He also alleged that there are plans to attack PDP leaders in the state and government officials.

The governor in a statement issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed  noted that ‘the evil agenda is designed to disrupt the forthcoming local government elections and create an atmosphere of chaos to push for the declaration of a state of emergency’.

He however , warned that ‘anybody apprehended in connection with the plot will face the full wrath of the law’.

The governor, who described Osun as one of the most peaceful states in the country,  decried the reprehensible desperation among members of the opposition parties especially  the All Progressive Congress which is manifesting ‘in their concoction of fake court rulings, deliberate fabrication of fake news and condemnable building of false narratives instead of facing the electorate on February 22’.

 Governor Adeleke asserted that there is a subsisting court judgment secured by the APP which had nullified the local government elections held in 2022, declaring that the ruling in question remains valid in law and reality.

The statement affirmed that the judgment of the Court of Appeal , Akure was about the filing of court processes by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which has nothing to do with the subsisting judgment that sacked those he called ‘illegally elected council chairmen and councilors’.

‘I have issued stern directives to the security agencies to secure the state and apprehend any troublemaker. There is no legal basis for any plot to take over the local government system in Osun State. Elections to fill the offices of chairmen and councilors are scheduled to hold on February 22. 

Anybody who tests our resolve to sustain law and order in Osun State will have himself to blame. As the Chief Security Officer of the state, I am determined to deploy all available machinery of the state to maintain peace and punish troublemakers.

I also call on citizens and residents of the state to go about their normal activities without fear or intimidation. The government is on top of the situation. We are resolved to keep the state and the streets safe from anti-democratic elements’ the governor was quoted as saying-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
