PDP Wants to impeach Aregbesola – APC

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state of plotting to rig during Saturday’s House of Assembly election.

Its Director of Publicity, Kunle Oyatomi, said in a statement on Friday that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was “violently mobilising to snatch victory in 16 of the 26 House of Assembly seats.”

Mr. Oyatomi said the move was part of the plot to put the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a comfortable position “in the desperate bid to eventually impeach the governor.”

However, the incumbent 26 lawmakers in the Osun State House of Assembly are all members of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The ruling party vowed to resist alleged plans by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rig in the election.

Mr. Oyatomi said, “Violence is not a component of democracy and any political party that indulges in it, as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) allegedly plans to do on Saturday, should be decisively contained and sanctioned by the law-enforcement agents.

“Osun is peaceful and security agents should do everything within their power to keep the state peaceful.”

But the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has debunked the allegation, stating that the party is not a sponsor of violence.

“We call on the people of Osun State to go to the polls en masse on Saturday and vote peacefully. They should be law-abiding and vote for whoever they want to vote for without fear,” Osun Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Publicity Secretary, Bola Ajao, said.
