The opposition All Progressives Congress in Osun State has again been advised to take a deep breath and put in check, their present loose cannon state of mind, and put in proper perspective, their particular areas of interest in the affairs of Osun State or at best, go back to the drawing board, if any, to restore some optical sanity in their mode of operations.
Osun PDP gave the advice against the backdrop of the uncensored reprobacy and approbacy stance of the opposition APC over the coming local government elections which have condemned them as unworthy and evil set of political rascals.
A statement from the media office of the ruling PDP and signed by the state chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi on Tuesday described the frivolous posture of the APC in another court case it instituted at the federal high court Osogbo, which was rightly dismissed by the court yesterday, as a pointer to the fact that the opposition party is in irredeemable disarray and that it cannot even help itself.
According to Osun PDP, “It is laughable, unthinkable and ridiculous at the same time for the Apc to be praying court to revisit a matter the same court has dispensed with, which has been appealed by the same Apc, with judgement being awaited on the same matter”. We must, however, caution that this appeal being awaited as far as we are concerned is a dejavu academic exercise, which surely will end in futility for the Apc, as the same Appeal Court has dismissed similar suit containing similar prayers on the same matter recently.
“But for some neuro cramps, how on earth would a rejected political party asked court to reinstate its sacked Yes or No local government puppets and at the same time demand stoppage of allocations to the same local governments”
“In another breath, the same APC was asking the court to stop a local government election they have been part of the process from the beginning in which they held a press conference to announce their readiness to participate and have even nominated candidates in the same election”
“It appeared to us that the only driving force for the confused Apc is the local government allocation they intend to corner for themselves as they have always done while in the saddle in Osun, without any good plan for the state and the people”
Osun PDP, therefore called on well meaning Nigerians and other APC elements, who are still mentally alive and are not lost in traffic of confusion ravaging the party presently, to prevail on their handlers to take a sensible detour, and first define what exactly is the interest of the Apc, either to destroy the state because people voted them out of power or they want to destroy themselves in self-loathing.
The PDP also enjoined all other political parties with candidates in the forthcoming local government election, to rise above desperate propaganda by the APC against the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC and its chairman, rally round the Commission for a successful exercise in February, the outcome of which to us, is beyond the interest of political players or our platforms, but that of the good people of Osun State who are entitled to rapid developments at the grassroots.
