Ahead of next Saturday House of Assembly election in Osun State, the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged members and supporters of the party to remain resolute.

The party pleaded that they should not be “cowed by the propaganda machinery and copious threats of violence” by the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which is allegedly working in cahoots with Governor Ademola Adeleke”.

The Acting State Chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo on Sunday said series of falsehoods against the APC being churned out by the leadership of the state PDP is an indication that they are pungently worried.

The statement said “the story credited to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, lampooning the Osun APC leaders over the results of the last charade, tagged elections, was a mere fabrication from the rumour mill of the PDP and a figment of the imagination of those spreading the mere composition scripted to confuse the people”

Lawal informed the PDP propagandists that the President-elect as a seasoned politician with candour is not, at all times, given to frivolity to the extent of dragging his party in the mud as its the usual practice in the PDP.

The APC chairman  noted that “the inexperienced and satellite Governor Adeleke has wittingly thrown a stone at the colony of bees and it is a must for him to expect ceaseless stinging by the displaced bees in the political affairs of the state”.

Lawal warned the state caretaker chairman of the PDP, Dr Akindele Adekunle, and his co-travellers to desist from using falsehoods to drive his political campaign of calumny against the APC as such could not change the status of Ademola as a sacked governor.

He told Adekunle to stop having the exaggerated notion of the popularity of the embattled Governor Adeleke as no responsible party would have anything worthy of attraction with a baggage full of unenviable notorious credentials of the embattled Governor Adeleke.

The statement noted that no one in the APC is contesting the leadership of the PDP in the state with the obviously challenged interim Governor Adeleke as it is one-eyed man who is usually made the king in the town of the blind.

Lawal said the PDP leadership of Adeleke being flaunted by the uninformed  and largely-lacking-political-residual-knowledge-controversial caretaker chairman of the Osun State PDP is an abberation as it’s on record that the PDP of today in Osun is a product of political banditry as the party was hijacked from its original owners by the Ede country home cabal.

He stated that in a saner clime, the PDP caretaker chairman should cover his head in shame as the purported victory of his party during the last presidential and national assembly elections that he has been shamelessly flaunting was attained through the thuggerisation of the entire state by the PDP hoodlums.

The chairman advised Adeleke and his caretaker party chairman that on the day of reckoning, all the atrocities perpetrated by the PDP thugs to suppress and frighten the members and supporters of the APC during the elections shall be exposed just the way it was done with the governorship election at the tribunal.

Lawal urged supporters on the need  to impress it on their members to troop out en masse to exercise their civic right during the house of Assembly elections coming up next Saturday.

According to him” These PDP elements who have militarized and thuggerised the Osun political space don’t have our number. We are more than them. Refuse to be cowed by their threat of violence. The day of reckoning is near for those social and political deviants troubling the peace of the state”
