The Attack on Ilesa West PDP Gathering: IBK Sues for Peace, Calls on Nigerian Police to Arrest Omowaye and Tobi Famurewa for Investigation.

Ilesa, February 17, 2025

It is deeply concerning that a peaceful gathering of PDP members in Ilesa West was violently disrupted. Since when has it become a crime for law-abiding citizens to assemble peacefully?

The attack, allegedly led by Remi Omowaye and Tobi Famurewa, marked a tragic turn in our democratic process. These individuals, claiming to have the backing of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, appear determined to forcefully take over the government of Osun State. This blatant act of aggression cannot go unpunished. I call on the Nigerian Police to arrest and investigate them to ensure justice is served.

In line with the directives of our amiable Governor, His Excellency, Asiwaju Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, I urge all PDP members in Ilesa West to refrain from visiting the Local Government Secretariat for now, as we prioritize safety and order.

I commend the uncompromising dedication of our members in safeguarding this administration and defending democracy from those who seek to destabilize our peaceful state. Your commitment is the reason PDP in Ilesa West and Osun State continues to grow stronger. I deeply appreciate your support and solidarity.

Furthermore, I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the victims of this violent attack. Alongside other leaders in Ilesa West, I assure them of my full support at ensuring that they receive proper medical care and swift recovery.

Looking ahead, I encourage all PDP members to intensify their preparations for the forthcoming local government elections scheduled for Saturday, February 22, 2025. Let us remain committed to grassroots mobilization and continue our individual campaign efforts while awaiting further directives from our party leaders at the State level.

Thank you all for your dedication. May God continue to bless and protect us.

Signed:
Hon. Isola Ibukun Fadipe (IBK)
Osun State SUBEB Chairman.

NEWS RELEASE

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...
