PDP, APC Bicker Over Ife Violence by Badex10(m): 9:17pm On Jul 07, 2014
Supporters of the ruling All Progressives
Congress APC and its main challenger in
the August 9 governorship election in
Osun state, the Peoples Democratic Party
PDP Monday clashed in Gbodo and Ita
Akogun area, both in Ile-Ife.
Unconfirmed report claimed that one
person was feared dead while several
others received various degrees of injuries
while properties whose value are yet to be
determined are destroyed.
The Peoples Democratic Party wishes to
bring to the attention of the public
ongoing attacks on members of the
People’s Democratic Party and their
properties in the ancient town of ILe
Ife ,Osun state.
The PDP alleged that it was APC that
started “the coordinated attack on PDP
members immediately after a purported
rally of the APC addressed and
coordinated by an Honorable member”.
But this allegation was immediately
countered by the APC who also accused
the PDP of causing crises in different parts
of the state in its efforts to win the forth
coming governorship election in the state .
Specifically, the PDP in a statement by the
Director of Media and Strategy to Senator
Iyiola Omisore, prince Diran Odeyemi
alleged that “more than six vehicles
belonging to innocent PDP members have
been destroyed,countless numbers of
shops razed and looted and several
members of our party beaten and
matcheted”.
” We have implored our members to
remain law abiding while we have notified
the police and other security agencies of
this unwarranted attacks on innocent PDP
members who are going about their lawful
business” .
“We condemned in the strongest possible
language repeated coordinated attacks on
our supporters by the APC. Today’s attack
will be the seventh since the
commencement of this campaign and our
party has lost men and millions of
properties in return”.
“We have refused to retaliate but we call
on security agencies to deal firmly with
the culprits who are known by their
repeated incitement of people to
violence .
” The security agencies have sufficient
information on the activities of political
thugs financed with state fund and openly
supported by the state government. It is
time to act against these hoodlums who
want to turn our peaceful state into a
battle ground” .
“For us in PDP ,we remain committed to
peaceful election because we have the
trust and confidence in the capacity of our
people to vote rightly Nd wisely against
violent leaders masquerading as
omoluabis”.
But APC in its own statement by its
Director Publicity, Research and Strategy
Mr Kunle Oyatomi read in part “it is a pity
that the PDP is looking for power that it
can’t give itself. We have nothing to fear
in Ile Ife. And this was demonstrated at
our maiden mega rally right at the centre
of the ancient town.
“People came in their thousands and show
support and solidarity in a manner that
any first timer in Ile Ife would readily
believe and truly so, that Aregbesola has
no competitor in the State”.
“Before Omisore stepped into the arena,
Osun has been peaceful under
Aregbesola. But a potentially treat to
violence surfaced with Omisore over
interest in becoming governor.
“The question all intelligent people should
ask themselves is how can a government
of APC that is conscious of critical
relationship between peace and
development turn round to create
violence to stall the very same socio and
environmental development it has brought
about in Osun?
“In whose interest therefore is violence
necessary in Osun if not the PDP?
Accusing the APC of violence is PDP’s
antics to divert attention from its own
criminality”, he added.

The aspirants or their children never join these fights. How can someone drink panadol for another person's headache?

One thing I hate about Omisore's rascality is how he do attack his fellow town people, this is how he did in 2011 by killing innocent family of Makinde on Election day....


1 prayer for Omisore, You'll never leave this world unless you reap exactly what you sow.


Odaju apayan, eranko lasan lasan.
