While the PDP faulted the activities of various campaign groups of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, the state chapter of the APC warned the opposition party against actions that could truncate the peace of the state.
The PDP in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Prince Bola Ajao, described the formation of the campaign groups by Aregbesola as am attempt to cause violence in the state.
Ajao, who recalled the arrest of some natives of the state in Awka during the recent Anambra State governorship election, alleged that the same set of people who were arrested for electoral violence formed the governor’s campaign groups in Osun State.
He, therefore, called on relevant security agencies to place the campaign groups which he listed as De Raufs, Aregbesola Victory Group, The Mandate Group, Oranmiyan Group and De Links on security watch.
But, the APC through its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said: “The allegations are smokescreens designed to divert attention from the PDP’s plans to cause mayhem by one of its aspirant desperate to become governor.
“However, we can say with confidence that one of the aspirants of that party had once threatened violence against Governor Aregbesola, to stop his convoy and disarm Aregbesola’s security.”
“So, if there is any threat to security in the state, it is coming from the PDP, and its gang of terrorists rather anyone else,” he added.
