You will
recall that Aregbesola had said at
different campaign fora that Osun would
march on blood if he fails to win the
August 9 governorship poll.”

Titilayodeji13: The campaign train of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) came under
attack at Ilesa rally, as PDP candidate in
the forthcoming August 9 governorship
election in Osun, Senator Iyiola Omisore
and other PDP party leaders narrowly
escaped death.
Our Correspondent reports that SSS
officers attached to Sen. Omisore were
injured in the attack. Also, the vehicle
conveying the party chairman, Alh Gani
Olaoluwa was badly smashed though both
Omisore and other party Chiefs escaped
unhurt.
The attack was allegedly led by the “state
boys”, a group of political thugs working
for the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The Director of media and strategy of
Omisore’s campaign organization, Mr
Diran Odeyemi said in a statement that it
was APC supporters that instigated the
violence.
His words: “Since the commencement of
our rallies, we have not recorded any
violence or breach of the peace. You will
recall that Aregbesola had said at
different campaign fora that Osun would
march on blood if he fails to win the
August 9 governorship poll.”
“Out of desperation to win at all costs,
Aregbesola had on four occasions called
on voters to go to polling booths with
charms and weapons and that they should
also confront soldiers in defending their
votes. So, what happened in Ilesa today
may be a signpost of their planned
violence before, during and after August 9,
2014.”

Mynd44: Get a better source

PaulJohn1:

Any link to a reliable media outlet or better still video where Aregbe said this?! These fellas are just too confused to come up with a reasonable lie. Lying as if their audiences are basic school pupils.

@ topic. That's an unreasonable attempt from Aregbe's supporters if true. But Why Omisore sef no request for more guards from his pals at the ministry of defence and police in Abuja, going to Aregbe's main stronghold to campaign like you're in your hood is insane.

#Team ona baba ona anyway..

Mynd44: Get a better source

hooged: get a life dude , this news is outright wrong , I was in ilesha throughout yesterday

tayooluwole: This OP is completely crazy. Go and get a life. It was Omisore's breed miscreant that were shooting sporadicaly and indiscriminately. This led to the death of an innocent man standing in front of his house. We people in ilesa are not too bewildered, because we know omisore already as a murderer. Omisore is a stupid neausance questing for power at all cost. Omisore will fail in this coming election like mad

Bash92: You are not making any sense at all. Omisore went to campaign for vote in Ilesha yet he was the one who still bring thugs to come and attack the people he want to beg for vote from. Let's all use our brain mr it doesn't add up

The governor said, “Make sure you go to cast your ballots with everything. I am not saying you should go there with guns but the law does not frown against charms, verses from the Quran and psalms of the Bible

Osun would march on blood if 'I' fail to win the August 9 governorship poll.”

Bash92: Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has
tasked residents of the state to go to the polling
booths on August 9, 2014 armed with charms and
verses from the Quran and Bible.
The governor, who said this in Ikire on Tuesday
during his campaign in the town, however, did not
say what voters would use the charms and prayer
verses for.
Speaking in Yoruba language, Aregbesola urged the
people of the state to go out and cast their ballots
and stay back until the result was announced to
avoid rigging.
He described the Peoples Democratic Party as an
assemblage of men who are promiscuous for asking
young women to “dress to kill” while going to cast
their ballots during the governorship poll.
The governor said, “Make sure you go to cast your
ballots with everything. I am not saying you should
go there with guns but the law does not frown
against charms, verses from the Quran and psalms of
the Bible. www.punchng.com/politics/take-charms-to-polling-booths-aregbesola-urges-voters/

danot1030: y are u burning? U are not even from Osun state neither are u at Ilesha .

danot1030: I assume u are suggesting that the violence at Ilesha is a response to the governors directives. If that's the case in my own opinion that makes him the peoples choice except the election is rigged by pdp.

Neyoor: According to reports, Tolu Adeosun, a member of
All Progressives Congress (APC) in ward 9 Ilesa
East, Osun state, was yesterday shot death in
front of his house around Osun Ankanra. T
his happened as the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Sen. Iyiola
Omisore, moved his campaign train to Ilesa.
Residents say before his arrival, his gang of
miscreants, called “IBK Boys” were seen
brandishing cutlasses and shooting sporadically.
It was one of the bullets that allegedly hit
Adeosun in the abdomen leading him to bleed to
death.

Late Adeosun only held a naming ceremony for
his new born baby just just the day before his
untimely death.
Residents of Ilesa, the hometown of the
incumbent Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola,
say the miscreants have promised more violence
for the governor’s supporters.

PaulJohn1: @ Bash92, you mean there is no difference between:


And

?

The later is the lie peddled by the PDP.
Bro, please don't let your passionate support for a candidate result to interpreting simple sentences wrongly. You're learned.

Bash92: Thanks bro, just notice. Thought I read the charm issue. You are quite different bro, the normal APC guy would have started an insult or cursing competition
