The Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated why the ruling People Democratic Party, PDP in the state cannot be relaxed despite being in power in the state ahead of the Supreme Court Judgement on the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal ruling.
The party in a release issued by its Publicity Secretary, Dr. Abdul -Azeez Olatunde and made available to Insideoyo.com on Saturday in Ibadan said that the PDP cannot be relaxed because they are fully conscious of the underhand deal that got them to power.
The release read “One would have expected PDP to be relaxed ahead of the Judgement of the Supreme Court but they cannot be relaxed because they are fully conscious of the underhand deal that got them to power hence their desperation to hang on to power at all cost. However, it would be appropriate to remind PDP Government of Engr SEYI MAKINDE that 20 years journey of crooked-lies, takes only a day Journey for truth to right the wrong.”
The opposition party also called on the people of the state to disregard any call to violence, brigandage and arson from the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) led government in the state.
“Honestly this is not the best of times for the army of occupation, holding on to power in Oyo State, clutching on to anything desperately. LWhat would sign post their morbid fear of losing the power that was coveted against their expectations than the statements emanating from the seat of power like the recent one from the Governors Chief of Staff, Bisi Ilaka, reminding the populace of the orgy scene of past Wild Wild West.
“Funny enough, PDP and their advocates had been claiming that the Judgement of the court of Appeal was in their favour, yet they are now inciting the public ahead of the Supreme Court Judgement. The PDP may be planning to unleash mayhem on the innocent citizens of Oyo State if the Supreme Court verdict does not go their way.
“That PDP is talking of Wild, Wild West is behaving through to type, while Oyo State APC is reassuring Oyo State people of adequate protection of their Lives and Properties which is synonymous with APC, Oyo State. Finally, since APC Oyo State intended to Govern the people, we are urging the Oyo State residents to disregard any call to violence, brigandage and arson from drowning Government”, the release added.
