Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has urged the state police command to parade eight suspected hoodlums arrested at the venue of the last Thursday presidential rally of the All Progressives Congress held in Osogbo.
Olabisi, who urged the public to discard the allegation, said the statement was wickedly woven by the PDP leadership to divert attention from the effect of the governorship election petition tribunal that sacked its candidate.
He said, “The unfounded allegation by the PDP doesn’t add up as discerning minds would want to ask what the duty of the supposed APC thugs would be at an APC event. Was it to attack fellow APC members? “The allegation lacks ingredients of truth and should be consigned to the dustbin of a conjectured statement wickedly woven by the PDP leadership to divert attention from the effect of the governorship election petition tribunal that sacked their candidate, the embattled Senator Ademola Adeleke, as the state governor penultimate week.”
The spokesperson of the state command, Yemisi Opalola, while responding to inquiries by our correspondent, confirmed the arrest of some armed men at the venue of the Osun APC presidential rally last Thursday.Kindly share this story: All rights reserved.
