The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being jittery over the popularity of its candidate in the Osun Governorship election, Ademola Adeleke, and has resorted to incitement, saying the tactics will not save the incumbent Governor from defeat.
The opposition party in a statement by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, its spokesman, said Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, APC National Chairman, ought to know that his “resort to incitement in the Osun State Governorship election cannot save the colorless, rejected and sinking Governor Gboyega Oyetola from inevitable defeat in the July 16, 2022 poll.”
PDP said the statement by the APC National Chairman is “reckless, irresponsible and shows the level of APC’s aversion to peaceful electoral process and disdain for the democratic right, freedom and sovereignty of the people of Osun State to freely and peacefully choose their leaders.”
Ologunagba said Adamu’s comment further confirms that the APC is in mortal fear of Senator Adeleke’s soaring popularity, realizing that Governor Oyetola is no match for Senator Adeleke; a blunt reality for which the APC National Chairman has now become frenetic.
“It is distressing that the APC has become so chaotic in the pursuit of its territorial occupation agenda that the National Chairman views the Osun State governorship election as a warfare in which the people must be conquered.”
“More provoking is Abdullahi Adamu’s brazen assertion that the APC has no apology for such an irresponsible, reckless and offensive “posture” against the sensibilities of the people of Osun State.”
The party therefore cautioned Adamu to “retreat and rein in his thugs, political terrorists and band of riggers as they will be stiffly resisted by the people.
“President Muhammadu Buhari should immediately call the APC National Chairman to order and advise him to accept the imminent defeat that awaits Governor Oyetola and the APC on July 16.”
