Osun APC Planning To Use ‘Federal Might’ To Carry Out Mass Arrests…Targets 25 Gov Adeleke’s Cabinet Members –PDP

The ruling party in Osun state, the PDP, has accused the state APC of planning to use ‘federal might’ to carry out mass arrests in the state while alleging that this has been confirmed by one of the loyalists of the Blue Economy minister , Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola ,  Hon Jamiu Olawumi.

The party alleged that Hon Olawumi said hooded security teams from Abuja would soon begin to  arrest top officials of the state government.

Osun state PDP  in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  on Saturday by the state Chairman, Chief Sunday Bisi  said the party’s security department had earlier gotten tipped off that ‘more than 25 state officials have been listed for unofficial arrests and abductions by special security teams from Abuja’.

‘We gathered on good authority as early as last week that the team is billed to enter Osun in the new week. The listed officials are to be picked up without warrant of arrest and without any trace of their whereabouts.

Our sources disclosed that the governor’s Spokesperson, four special advisers, five party leaders and 15 other state officials are to be abducted by the Abuja team in what would amount to gross violation of the constitution and an open threat to the peace of Osun state.

We were still analyzing the threat when a top member of the opposition confirmed the threats first by the news story which confirmed that Oyetola family and camp have been making  several petitions the available to the DSS against Osun officials and second by an open phone call’ the party said..

Hon. Bisi said the plot in question was exposed on Thursday night as some members of Osun state APC boasted that they will allegedly use federal might to victimize Osun state government officials and some PDP  leaders .

The party Chairman  also alleged  that Mr Jamiu Olawumi , who served as Oyetola’s Special Adviser  on Education, actually telephoned some among Governor Ademola Adeleke’s aides threatening imminent arrest of Osun state government officials.

Olawumi  had during the said telephone conversation  allegedly said he will make sure that he get the governor’s aides arrested just because of an altercation they had on a WhatsApp group   where the official in question had asked  him (Olawumi) to give an account of how the Ministry of Education was managed during the Oyetola administration.

‘Rather than responding to the question, Olawunmi placed a call to the official bragging that he will make sure he gets him arrested and that those who will effect the arrest will come from Abuja.

Several other APC bigwigs have issued similar threats in recent days which confirms the internal reports we already have about an alleged hit team already assembled in Abuja to raid Osun state and arrest state officials.

While we know for certain that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not approve of such an evil plan, we are constrained to alert the public about the imminent threat to peace and stability of Osun state through nefarious activities of Mr Gboyega Oyetola and his faction of Osun state APC’ the statement said.

The party has urged  the presidency to halt such moves while alerting the Inspector General of Police and the Director General, Department of State Service  to  ‘this developing threat to peace and stability of Osun state’ and urging them  to caution members of the opposition party in the state, the APC, against open threats and harassment of state officials.

The  statement also called on the Police and the DSS to avoid political partisanship and avoid the idea of becoming an instrument of political vendetta.

‘I want to call on President Bola Tinubu to caution members of his party in Osun because we will not allow our members to be harassed or victimized in the state. We seek Mr President’s immediate intervention.

 We are making this appeal on the premise that any hooded security operations against Osun state and party officials will amount to direct violation of the constitution and the fundamental human rights of those officials. We will not succumb to such threats and intimidation.

Our members and government will deploy all legal and constitutional measures to stop the planned violation of their rights. We will legally resist any plot to destabilize Osun state now under the well-loved and performing Governor Ademola Adeleke’ the party submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
