Political Campaign towards next month
governorship election in Osun State became
violent on Monday as supporters of the ruling All
Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) engaged in a violent clash
leaving several people injured.
Governor Aregbesola of Osun state (L) and Sen.
Iyiola Omisore
Following the violent clash, both parties pointed
accusing fingers at each other in a statement
made available to African Examiner.
In his own statement, the Director of Media and
Strategy of Omisore Campaign Organisation, Mr.
Diran Odeyemi said:
“The attack was led by some leaders of the APC
and members of the State Boys, a group of
political thugs funded by the state government .
“The coordinated attack on the PDP members
was launched immediately after a purported rally
of the APC. More than six vehicles belonging to
innocent PDP members were destroyed,
countless numbers of shops were razed and
looted and several members of our party beaten
and attacked with machetes.
“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.”
While the Director of Publicity, Research and
Strategy of the APC, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi in his
own statement explained thus:
“People came in their thousands and showed
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 threat 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?”

No pint of blood deserves to be shed in the name of politricks & polithieves.

Politics of do or die. Yeye country

Violence as a means to an end? I am sure an average politician in nigeria can not tell you the political history of most african nations, they DON'T know, they DONT acquire this kind of knowledge, so therefore they don't learn from history! So I will tell them. "You will reap what ever you sow" its is no exaggeration nor a myth. That is just the natural order!!!!!!!

I wonder how the proper election will be like when they are injuring themselves before the election. I hope the people will shine their eyes, 'cos at the end of d day, the 2 polithiefcians will reconcile their differences leaving the unthinking populace at a loss.
