Osun PDP Accuses, Oyetola, APC Of Blackmailing Judiciary
Osun State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused Governor Gboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of sponsoring rallies and demonstrations to discredit the judgement of the Osun State election petition tribunal which returned Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the September 22nd 2018 Governorship election.
several meetings with Students Union leaders and pseudo activists who will hold rallies in Osogbo and Abuja to express displeasure at the judgement and blackmail the judiciary.
Adagunodo said a sum of N500 million has been earmarked by government to mobilise demonstrators from Osun, Lagos and some neighbouring states for the exercise.
The PDP accused Oyetola of directing Local Government chairmen in the state to release various sums of money to sponsor write-up in the Print Media and facilitate Television appearances where the integrity of the judges who delivered the majority judgement will be questioned by sponsored writers.
While describing the plans as a mark of needless desperation on the part of the APC, Adagunodo urged security agencies to swing into action in order to avoid possible breach of security by the demonstrators to be unleashed on Osun State anytime from now.
Reacting, the All Progressives Congress (APC) through its Director of Research and Publicity, Barrister Kunle Oyatomi said the party will not engage in what he described as mere fabrication by PDP.
His words: “The APC does not want to engage with the PDP in Osun in useless and toothless conversation, especially so, because 95 per cent of the time that they speak, it’s all fabrication and this one is even fatuous, they have brought into the political arena in Osun since January 2019.
“The good people of Osun and our knowledgeable security agencies should completely discountenance those allegations because they have no foundation in facts and figures. The PDP is looking for a roforofo fight, but we in APC don’t belong in the gutters.”
