Osun APC, PDP bicker over guber election
While the
PDP, weekend, threatened not to participate in any election supervised
by the state Resident Electoral Commissioner REC, Dr. Rufus Akeju, APC,
said the PDP must be scared of the qualities of the man who perhaps they
believe, would not accede to their desperate rigging plans.
PDP in the statement by its state chairman, Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa in Osogbo, noted that there was no way the REC would not be bias in his handling of the election, “because Akeju is a card carrying member of APC.”
His words: “Apart from not participating in the future elections conducted by Mr. Akeju, PDP will resist any such exercise and reject its outcome, as any election conducted or supervised by Mr. Akeju will lead to chaos and a probable breakdown of law and order.”
But the APC in a statement by its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, charged the law enforcement agencies to monitor every statement from the PDP leaders.
The party told the PDP that “it does not have the capacity to threaten peace in the state and get away with it.”
According to the APC, law enforcement agencies in the state would deal decisively with any threat from the PDP to disrupt, through violence, the up-coming gubernatorial election.
Describing the statement as “arrogant and irresponsible,” Oyatomi said Olaoluwa’s remark was a statement of intention by the PDP to cause chaos at all cost during the election in utter disregard of security agencies and the wishes of peace-loving people of Osun.
On the threat of the PDP to boycott the election, if Akeju conducts it, the APC said the PDP must be scared of the qualities of the man who perhaps they believe, would not accede to their desperate rigging plans.
“Their complaint against Akeju is totally baseless, otherwise, they would have accepted the challenge of Professor Attahiru Jega, the INEC boss, to prove their allegation against Akeju.”
APC called on all the security agencies to take especial notice of this open threat to cause mayhem during the election, and do everything within the law to make it impossible.
