●Charges Security Agencies To Probe Opposition Party Over Arms Build Up
Workers in the employ of Osun State government have been given a pat in the back for their resolute commitment to the development of the state in the face of crass lawlessness and intimidation by the disorientated opposition, the All Progressives Congress.
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party made the commendation, in a statement signed by Senior Special Adviser Hezekiah Olabamiji while reacting to series of meaningless harassment of the staff of the state workforce in the local government councils by the ousted APC, describing the threats as an open demonstration of habitual hatred for public workers by the sadistic opposition.
“The copy and paste threat by the sacked chairmen, who have reduced themselves to hopeless tools of perdition in the hands of their demonic grandfathers in the Apc, have once again brought to question, why the Apc, right from the days of their progenitors, decided to always work at cross purposes with the wellbeing and happiness of the public workers” the PDP queried.
The PDP in a statement by its media office, on Tuesday, described the organized Labour as indispensable partners in nation building and economic well-being of a state like Osun, and without doubt, must never be treated like some unfortunate slaves, who could be ordered around by some angry infants, to validate evil machinations against the state.
The PDP urged the state government through the local government service commission to protect the state workers in the local councils and insulate them against any unwarranted threats, especially now that the APC and its ignorant ball boys have resorted to open and unbridled death threats against the innocent workers, whose only sin to Apc, is their resolve to protect themselves from the cross-fire danger of violence orchestrated by troubled opposition by withdrawing their services.
In another development, the ruling PDP has called on the security agencies in the state to begin in earnest, discreet investigation of Apc stalwarts for arms build up, as the state inches towards electioneering for the 2026 governorship election.
Osun PDP, while reiterating its commitment to peace as a panacea to social and economic stability, condemned the opposition APC for what it described as inordinate pursuit of its impossible ambition in the state, warning them not to misconstrue the peaceful disposition of the leader of the state, Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke for weakness.
“We are not unaware of the false narratives of the APC accusing the PDP and its governors of importing thugs to the state. We know for a fact, that such narratives were mere cover-ups for the naked assassinations perpetrated by the APC in recent times, concealed in the horrendous plot to usurp local government administration in the state.
We demand that the Police under the watch of Mr Kayode Egbetokun, must shed the burden of interference in the politics of the state and do the job expected of them by investigating All APC stalwarts, who were seen moving around in Ilesa metropolis, Iragbiji, Igbajo, Ikire, Bode-Osi, etc, in convoy of daredevil political thugs, on Monday, 17th of February, 2025, shooting at random, which led to the death of 7 members of the PDP in the state
The Nigerian Police, we warn, must live above board at this time, as fate of the Nigerian State must not be tied to the apron of keeping their job at the expense of lives and properties of the citizens, no matter whose ox is gored.
“There is always a limit to testing the will of a determined army of people as we have in Osun State, and it will take a professional lens of a neutral police to sniff this, by aborting current shenanigans being imposed on the security agency by lazy and corner cutting politicians in the state”
The police must comb the homes and other hideouts of APC chieftains in Osun and confiscate cache of arms being stocked towards the 2026 elections, as well as arrest street urchins being employed to carry out evil attacks on PDP leaders and members alike, with the aid of these arms. A stitch in time saves nine, the PDP concluded.
