OSUN LG ELECTION : APC ALLEGEDLY HIRES HOODLUMS TO INTIMIDATE PDP LEADERS.

OSUN LG ELECTION : APC ALLEGEDLY HIRES HOODLUMS TO INTIMIDATE PDP LEADERS 

Osogbo, February 20, 2025.

Ahead of Council polls, the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has hired political thugs and impostors to intimidate notable PDP leaders and public office holders in the administration of Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.

This, according to reports from the Osun Leadership Forum, is to disrupt the forthcoming Local Government election across the 30 Local Governments and area office, Modakeke.

Recall that the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) has concluded arrangements to conduct elections into the Local Government areas across the State.

Nigerian Platform reliably gathered that it did not go down well with the opposition which withdrew from the exercise at the instance of a controversial Appeal Court judgement delivered on Monday, 10th February, 2025.

The APC aided by the Nigerian Police Force has forcefully taken over some Local Governments. Boasting of the Federal might, the party has vowed to leave no stone unturned, in stopping the LG Election.

"They also plan to attack, assassinate and kidnap PDP's frontline leaders across the State, beginning from 12:00am on the Election Day", Osun Leadership Forum alleged.

Some of the PDP leaders allegedly under APC's watch include the Speaker , Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, Osun State PDP Chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi, Honourable Commissioner for Information, Barr. Kolapo Alimi, Honourable Commissioner for Commerce, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo and "some Commissioners".

The report stated that the APC also plans to unleash mayhem during Saturday election, by ballot snatching, stuffing, to be carried out by APC thugs in Police uniform.

NEWS RELEASE 10 - 2 - 2025 The Osun State House of Assembly has expressed grave concern over the sinister plot devised by the opposition party, the APC, aimed at inciting violence across the state. In response to this alarming development, we call upon the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure that his officers uphold the highest standards of professionalism, remaining neutral in their essential role of maintaining security in Osun. We are aware that Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola is exploiting his ministerial influence and his familial connection to the President to manipulate security leadership, thereby fostering an environment of unrest. It is crucial to emphasise that the Appeal Court judges have not issued any directive reinstating the chairmen from the contentious Yes/No election, and we firmly reject any attempts to subvert justice. We urge the Inspector General to take into account the Appeal Judgment delivered on January 13, 2025, which reaffirmed the O...
