The South West chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as irresponsible and hypocritical, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governors’ defence of Osun State governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola’s alleged use of religious zealots as bodyguards.

The party also challenged the other ACN governors to tell Nigerians why they rejected the idea of having  Sharia Courts of Appeal in the South West states when Aregbesola mooted it during one of their meetings late last year.

The PDP said in a statement issued by its Zonal Publicity Secretary, Mr Kayode Babade, that the ACN governors would have done the Osun State governor a lot of good if they had advised him to stop his flagrant affront on the constitution and the unity of Nigeria, instead of blabbing about an imaginary destabilisation plot by the PDP.

The party said that “the best any lover of Aregbesola should do is to advise him to thread the path of honour by putting a stop to his illegalities and religious extremism in Osun State.

“The ACN governors should rather tell Nigerians why it was only Aregbesola that is using Islamic extremists as guards instead of men of the police and SSS? Why are other ACN governors like Abiola Ajimobi, Babatunde Fashola and Ibikunle Amosun that are Muslims like Aregbesola not promoting fundamentalism in their own states?

“Why are the ACN governors not introducing the use of hijab in public schools in their states as being done by Aregbesola?

“Why didn’t the ACN governors change the name of their own states as done by Aregbesola?

“Again, why did they reject the idea of having a Sharia Court of Appeal in the South West when Aregbesola mooted it during one of their meetings late last year?” PDP queried.
