Kwara 2023:  PDP Members Planning To Foment Violence  Wearing Our Campaign T-Shirt, Fez Cap –APC

Kwara state APC  on Tuesday alleged that  members of the state PDP were planning to wear its campaign T-Shirts  and fez caps to foment violence in the state in an attempt to blacken the party’s image.

The party added that an intel it had received noted that this was done to make it possible for the PDP to play the victim card.

‘Kwara PDP is losing numerous stakeholders and members to the APC fold as the general election  draws near, coupled with the collapse of their election- rigging plan which has been exposed by the outcome of the Osun  state governorship election petition Tribunal’ Kwara state APC submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Tajudeen Aro on Tuesday.

‘A source told us  that the Kwara PDP has been organizing urchins and thugs to destroy people’s properties, maim and cause tension in the state, while giving them T-shirts, fez caps emblazoned  with APC, AA and Maa Se Lo logo and other things to carry out the evil act.

This is just to create confusion and the impression that APC is behind the attacks. This plot has just been uncovered. This is how they think they can now win the election since they have lost popularity and acceptability with the ordinary masses, elites, and other stakeholders. If they succeed in this, it will be possible for them to play the victim card so as to earn the sympathy of the people.

The Saraki dynasty is not new in the game, going down memory lane of how they had allegedly used a similar strategy to paint late Governor Mohammed Alabi Lawal in bad light in the buildup to the 2003 guber election.

The dynasty was believed to have sponsored thugs and cultists to wear T-shirts emblazoned with ‘UP LAWAL’ just to deceive the people and create the impression that the late governor was behind the attacks. They somehow succeeded with the evil plot. That’s the same plan they want to adopt now.

According to a report by the CPJ narrating the event of 2002 in Kwara, ‘On Friday, November 15, an explosion destroyed the offices of the independent weekly National Pilot in Ilorin, the capital of Nigeria’s north central Kwara State. Five people were seriously injured in the blast — which local sources suspected was a politically- motivated bomb attack—including the paper’s deputy editor-in-chief, Mudasiru Adewuyi.

The explosion occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Friday, while the paper’s staff were preparing its latest edition for release on Monday. The blast caused the roof of the building to collapse, injuring five workers and destroying a substantial amount of equipment. The injured workers were taken to a local hospital’.

Governor Lawal had described the incident as a ‘self-inflicted attack’ aimed at discrediting his administration.

During the reign of the Saraki dynasty, thugs were reportedly empowered amid disclosures that they were even on the payroll of the then Kwara State Government, politicians, and they were granted every access and freedom which was one of the causes of Offa robbery in which 33 people were killed. The Offa robbery suspect were discovered to have hidden their operation vehicles at the Government House after the robbery.

Their menace at that time was so worrying. They clashed almost every time, putting the state in unrest and jeopardy.

The case of the PDP thug called Ojulari is an eye opener. He was caught with guns, ammunitions and charms. He confessed to being a member of the PDP in Kwara State, according to the Police statement. The PDP has so many of them like that whose job is to cause unrest in the society. The Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq administration has tamed their activities because the governor frowns at thuggery and  he has refused to grant them official cover. He is known for this policy. However, with the elections a few days away, the case is rearing its ugly head again as the PDP elements are desperate to win either by hook or crook. Ojulari actually wanted to assassinate people at the APC rally where he was found with two guns. What was a PDP thug with weapons doing at an APC rally?

We commend the security agencies for the good work so far. We urge them not to relax. This election is a referendum on the past and the present, and no one should be allowed to deploy violence of any kind to intimidate the people’ the  statement said- Team@orientactualmags.com
