A governorship aspirant in Ogun State during the last election, Segun Showunmi, has reported the attack he allegedly suffered at the premises of the
election petition tribunal on June 5 to Nuhu Ribadu, the newly-appointed Security Adviser to President Bola Tinubu.
On the report of his announcement, Showunmi quickly wrote an open letter to Ribadu, informing him of how he was flogged by some suspected thugs loyal to the All Progressives Congress , when he went to the Isabo Abeokuta to witness the case filed by Ladi Adebutu of the Peoples Democratic Party against the election of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
In his open letter, Showunmi said he had written Ribadu to bring to his attention “a major security challenge I have, a type I have never experienced in over 30 years of speaking truth to power in this country.” Showunmi expressed worries that the government and authorities concerned have, “in the most uncivilized manner, pretended that nothing happened.”
