The Ademola Adeleke
Campaign Organisation has cried out over alleged destruction of billboards of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by agents of the ruling All Progressive
Congress (APC).
The campaign organization
also claimed that campaign convoy of the governorship candidate of the PDP,
Senator Ademola Adeleke, was breached by a suspected attacker in cream coloured
unnumbered Toyota Venza.
Olawale Rasheed, Director,
Media & Publicity, in a statement sent to DAILY POST, said some hoodlums
last night rained bullets on the country home of the Adeleke family until they
were repelled.
According to him, “Now,
ongoing all over the state is the vandalisation of billboards and campaign
posters of the PDP candidate. This act of destruction by the APC thugs is
evident at Osogbo and other parts of the state.
“As we prepare to make
official reports to the security agencies, we alert the general public to the
increasing desperation of the APC in the countdown to the governorship
election.
“We have conducted our
campaign with utmost decorum and compliance with the ‘vote and not fight’
principle. We remain committed to peaceful campaign and electoral processes. We
however invite local and international democratic forces to note the deliberate
efforts of the APC to plunge Osun State into chaos.
“We call on security
agencies to take note of the increasing onslaught against opposition leaders
and the dangers this portends for our democracy. The police and other security
agents should curtail and rein in forces of chaos and violence for the
stability of our nascent democracy.
“The people of Osun State
are entitled to their democratic rights to vote and be voted for. Our people
will never be cowed or scared from exercising their democratic rights to reject
the inhuman government of APC. No amount of threat and attacks will stop the
imminent defeat facing the APC in Osun State.
“We urge our people to
remain undaunted and to prepare their PVCs to vote out APC’s darkness and
enthrone PDP’s light.”
