Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday, accused Governor Seyi Makinde Campaign Council of raising false alarm over  alleged plans to attack the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in the state

APC in a statement by by its Oyo State Publicity Secretary, Comrade Olawale Sadare, tasked security agencies, traditional rulers, religious leaders and other stakeholders in the state to “ensure that no individual or group of individuals is allowed to truncate the electoral process for selfish gains”.

Oyo APC in the statement, described the alarm raised  by the Seyi Makinde Campaign Council as deliberate falsehood, wicked propaganda and a shameful attempt to mislead the public and that security agencies in the state should probe the alarm.

Expressing  concerns and disappointment over what it described as, “an impending doom for democracy in the state which deserves proactive measures from all the relevant stakeholders and patriots.

“Providence has just done the desirable thing for the good people of Oyo State as it caused the PDP elements to reveal that the leopard in them would never change its spots.

“The whole world has again been made to realize that the umbrella party which parades an unassailable record of political violence, brigandage and domestic terrorism in Oyo State was not prepared to turn a new leaf and key into the campaign for sustainable peace and decent practices in our democratic practices”, it said.

Oyo APC added, ” we could have ignored the merchant of blackmail on their puerile claim of arson plan but we felt a need to put it on record that APC does not have any reason whatsoever to sponsor attacks against individuals and public facilities (including INEC offices) as it is not in our character or idiosyncrasy to destroy or sabotage”

It stressed, ” the only change which has come into the way we do things is that we shall not continue to watch helplessly while some violent characters hound and victimise our members and property as electioneering get underway.

The party noted that ” the residents of the state also know those who run a criminal gang of billboard vandals and opposition member witch-hunters. Only yesterday, PDP sent its ‘official terrorists’ to Ibarapaland and the quantum of destruction and pains which they left behind, after hours of operation, is devastating.

“As a matter of fact, the divinely-induced revelation coming from the camp of Oyo PDP should not be taken with a pinch of salt as parties and candidates prosecute their electioneering ahead of the 2023 election. 

” It is highly imperative for security agencies, traditional rulers, religious leaders and other stakeholders as well as patriots and friends of Nigeria to collaborate and ensure that no individual or group of individuals is allowed to truncate the electoral process for selfish gains”.

Oyo APC maintained that, “the  people of Oyo state deserve their peace and all agents of violence must be put to check or caused to be demobilised by their sponsors.”
