The Osun State APC Governorship Campaign Council, has alleged that the ruling Accord Party vandalised its own billboards in order to elicit sympathy from the public.
osun.life reports that the Imole Campaign Council through its spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi had earlier accused the APC of sponsoring thugs to destroy the campaign billboards of the Accord Party in the state.
But the APC in a statement by Engr Omowaiye Oluremi, the
Head, Media and Publicity Committee for the campaign team of Mr Bola Oyebamiji, the gubernatorial candidate of the party, said the allegation was false, baseless, and a desperate attempt to “hang a dog in order to give it a bad name.”
The statement noted that the statement by the Imole Campaign Council was an attempt to distract public attention from the failures and corruption allegations trailing the Adeleke administration.
“In the last few days, the public space has been inundated with reports concerning the arrest and detention of the Chief of Staff to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye; the Accountant-General of Osun State, Mr Rasheed Olalere Alabi and other key officials of the current administration.
“Specifically, there are allegations bordering on the diversion and expenditure without appropriation of the N14.9 billion ecological fund meant for victims of rainstorms and floods, diversion of the N2 billion Federal Government grant intended for the procurement of modern buses, as well as the alleged diversion of over N100 billion belonging to local governments in Osun State.
“Faced with mounting public outrage and increasing criticism from civil society groups and concerned residents, the troubled Adeleke administration now appears determined to resort to self-vandalism, propaganda, and concocted allegations against the opposition in a futile bid to gain public sympathy and shift attention from its woeful performance,” Omowaiye stated.
