The full gist below. This is a real show of sophistication.

Civil Societies’ Coalition for Emancipation of Osun State,
CSCEO is organizing an impeachment rally against
Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s impeachment and they say
they have the support of the Osun State indigenes.
According to the group at a press briefing held in Osogbo
yesterday, over 20 civil and faith based societies who are
members of CSCEO are already mobilising their members
towards the mass rally.
The group’s Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi Sulaiman Alimi,
gave the names of association ready for the rally as The
Voices, KIMPACT, Centre for Human Rights and Social
Justice, Grassroot Democratic Network, Christian Initiative
for Nation Building, Christian Leadership Mobilisation and
Better Future Initiative.
Alimi explained that over three petitions including the one
sent by a state serving judge, Justice Folaranmi Oloyede,
calling for Aregbesola’s probe and impeachment are
presently before members of the state House of Assembly
and the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
Meanwhile, APC is blaming the Peoples Democratic Party,
Senator Iyiola Omisore and his party responsible for any
breach of the peace in the state.
The party, in a statement by the Directorate of Publicity,
Research and Strategy yesterday said it was aware of plans
by a group of profiteers who were being sponsored by
Omisore and his party to unleash violence on the state,
using the issue of workers’ salaries as camouflage.
Specifically we must alert the whole world to a threat
issued by Omisore on June 14 this year at the secretariat
of the PDP in Osogbo where he promised members of his
party that he was prepared to make this state
ungovernable for Governor Rauf Aregesola.
We are therefore certain that the crisis being orchestrated
in the state is to get what the people of Osun denied him
through a democratic process on August 9, 2014. This was
his resolution after the Supreme Court decision which
finally sealed his ambition through a pronouncement on
May 27, this year.
We are using this medium to inform the public and the
media to be wary of activities of this set of opportunists
who are the real profiteers behind the undeserved focus
on Osun among the more than 20 states that are currently
facing salary challenges.
The APC government under Aregbesola in Osun has been
having very fruitful negotiations with the labour and we
can therefore say without any contradiction that the
labour has no hand in this proposed protest.’’
The PDP in response said;
“PDP observe with disillusion the allegation by Aregbesola
and his paid agents that Otunba Iyiola Omisore and PDP
are sponsoring workers to protest unpaid salaries.’’
A statement by the PDP spokesperson in Osun state,
Prince Diran Odeyemi added, “It is unfortunate that the
sinking government still be engaging in buck passing when
he should be busy looking for money to settle unpaid
salaries and allowances of workers.
“In the last one week, we have not issued any statement
because we observe workers are rising to the occasion to
fight for their rights.
“We are not involved as a party, Omisore is not involved
and will never be party to any act of lawlessness but we
demand from the governor to explain if he has paid these
workers.
“Have they been paid their salaries? If no, whatever the
steps they take inasmuch as such is within the ambit of
the law, nothing can stop workers from demanding for
their rights.
