Osun PDP To Security Agencies: Our Members Under Siege By APC Thugs, Come To Our Rescue

Osun state PDP on Saturday raised the alarm and alleged that its members had been under siege by the APC political thugs.

The party said there had been ‘a  relentless campaign of violence unleashed on its members  and indeed innocent members of the public  by the All Progressives Congress (APC)’.

‘The latest of this despicable act was the attack on Wasiu Adeleke, a PDP member in Ila local government, at about 1:00am on Saturday.

The assailants, who are being sponsored by Obawale Adewale, the APC House of Representatives candidate for Ila/Boluwaduro/Ifedayo and Lateef Adebisi Jayeola, the APC candidate for Ila State Constituency, swooped on  our armless member at the dead of the night, inflicting serious injuries on him.

This attack, as with those before it, was part of a calculated plot to intimidate and scare our members and supporters ahead of  the general election. The APC members are afraid of the resolve of Osun  state people  to reject them at the poll, and  they want to deploy violence to make it impossible for voters to come out and exercise their franchise.

Such is the level of desperation of the APC whose record of misrule has caused them enormous disinterest and undisguised disaffection by Nigerians. But we must warn that there is limit to how much of this barbarity Osun people can take, and we will resist this attempt to cow them’ the Chairman,  Osun State PDP Caretaker Committee, Dr Akindele Adekunle submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Saturday.

The party has also urged the Police and other security agencies in the state to be alive to their responsibilities and ensure the safety of its members and Osun state people as a whole.

‘By now and with all the warnings by our great party, it is expected that security agencies would have risen up to their responsibility and go after the hoodlums imported into the state by the APC.

Failure of the security agencies to track and apprehend criminals terrorizing Osun people, particularly PDP members in the guise of election, will be devastating for the peace of the state as people will be forced to defend themselves from these mindless attacks. This is not something anyone will want and for that, the security agencies in the state should tame the APC thugs’ the statement added- Team@orientactualmags.com
