Stop causing chaos, Osun APC warns PDP

THE Osun chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned the Peoples Democratic Party’s, PDP, governorship candidate in the August 9 election, Senator Iyiola Omisore and his supporters to desist from causing chaos in the guise of political campaigns.

This warning came on the heels of a rising wave of planned violent political attacks on APC supporters across the state.

In a statement by the Director of Publicity, Strategy and Research, Mr  Kunle Oyatomi, the party cautioned all agents and promoters of conflicts and chaos to refrain from such acts or “face the wrath of the law”.

The party noted the political violence that was averted by the State Police Command in Obokun Local Government area of the state; a development which followed series of other similar attacks against supporters of the APC.

The party listed the attacks on his party’s members at Ila-Oragun, Iwo, Ikirun, destruction of Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s campaign billboards along Osogbo-Ilesha Road and Ibokun and Ile-Ife, where unknown hoodlums had also planted minor explosive device to scare people a few days ago as some of the instances in which APC supporters have been at the receiving end of PDP’s crusade of violence.

The party  noted that it is the restoration of peace after a long reign of PDP’s terror government that endeared Aregbesola to the people of the state.

The statement read: “People could still remember that during its tenure, the PDP administration promoted chaos, terror and violence to an unimaginable level. Since PDP’s exit from power however, peace returned to Osun. Our people have from 2010 embraced the peace and harmony that Aregbesola’s government heralded.

“It has been shown to the whole world that this state values, enjoys and promotes harmonious living among its various peoples.  This is one of the cardinal programmes of the APC government. Ours is not a government that fans the embers of disquiet, discord and chaos.”

“Government will do everything humanly possible to sustain the atmosphere of peace and tranquility that have become the state’s hallmark in the last four years. Any attempt by opposition agents to plunge the state back into the state of ‘nature where life is nasty, brutish and short’ will be prevented.

“Hence, the peace-loving people of the state will rise up and defend the peace which they had enjoyed for almost four years now,” the party stated.
