The campaign council of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Mr Bola Oyebamiji, has responded to Governor Ademola Adeleke’s directive that the state police command should arrest those vandalising public properties across the state.
It would be recalled that Adeleke in a statement on Monday morning, accused the APC of sponsoring thugs of vandalising properties belonging to the Accord Party.
The Governor asked the police to immediately effect the arrest of Asiri Eniba and his gangs who were allegedly terrorising the state.
But the APC in a statement by Engr Oluremi Omowaiye, head, Media and Publicity Committee,
Osun APC Governorship Campaign Council, said the recent vandalisation of Governor Adeleke’s billboards was a fallout of internal disagreements among cult groups allegedly mobilised by the governor’s family members, including his nephew, Davido, and some of the governor’s children during their recent visit to Osogbo.
“The disagreement reportedly centred on the sharing formula of money allegedly handed to the groups after being hired for political activities.
“Those who felt cheated in the sharing arrangement allegedly turned against one another, leading to attacks and destruction of the governor’s own campaign materials.
“What happened was therefore self-induced— a direct consequence of the culture of criminality, thuggery and brigandage tolerated and encouraged within the political camp of the governor and his Accord Party. It is purely an internal crisis within the Adeleke political structure, and the APC must not be falsely accused or dragged into their chaos,” Omowaiye noted.
