You have 72 hours to remove hoodlums recruited from neighbouring states to disrupt elections in Osun, Sunday Bisi tells Famurewa, Owoeye, others

The Director-General of the Atiku-Okowa Campaign Council in Osun State, Honourable Sunday Bisi has accused the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Osun East District, Hon. Ajibola Famurewa, the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, of importing hoodlums from neighbouring states to cause mayhem and disrupt elections across Osun state.

Hon Bisi, in a statement he personally signed on Sunday, said the plot to ignite unrest in Osun state to save the APC from humiliating loss at the polls also involve Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the party's acting state chairman, Babatunde Ayeni, the APC House of Representatives Candidate for Ijesa South Federal Constituency, and Babatunde Festus Komolafe, the House of Assembly candidate of the APC for Atakunmosa East/West Constituency.

"We are disturbed to alert Nigerians and the whole world of the dangerous plot by APC leaders to scuttle elections in Osun state," he noted in the state.

"As we countdown to the elections day on Saturday, we're a witnessing an influx of armed thugs into the state by key APC leaders like the APC Senatorial candidate for Osun East District, Ajibola Famurewa, the Speaker of the Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, the APC Acting Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the APC Rep candidate, Babatunde Ayeni, as well as the party's assembly candidate for Atakunmosa East/West, Babatunde Festus Komolafe.

Hon. Bisi who observed that Hon. Famurewa was recently granted bail following the discovery of dangerous weapons in his possession by security agents, warned that the PDP will resist any attempt by the APC to plunge Osun into crisis.

"In the last few days, we noticed the movement of thugs into Osun state by the APC and fully aware of all the hotels in Osun East and other parts of the state where they were lodged," the former Osun PDP Chairman asserted.

"Our credible findings detailed that the daredevil hands have been prepared to unleash violence, intimidate innocent people, and target our members for attacks in order to scare them away from participating in the polls. This quite explains the surge in violence on PDP members, especially in Osun East, where many have come under increasing scare for their lives."

Hon. Bisi condemned the APC's action towards the elections as desperation taken too far, noting that a party who had done well to earn the support of the people will not need to import criminals to cause mayhem.

He however called on APC leaders to withdraw the violent actors brought into the state for the purpose of the election with 72 hours, warning that failure to do so will see the PDP hand out their locations to security agencies in order to force them out of the state

"Our philosophy as a party is that power belongs to the people, and this is why we have been knocking on doors to persuade them to give us their mandates. If the APC think it can impose itself on the people through violence, then it is mistaken. 

"For this reason, we will give the APC leaders 72 hours to remove all the hoodlums they brought into Osun state, and failing to do so, we will be left with no option but to hand over their locations to security agencies so as to throw them out of our state."
