The APC Campaign Council for the Osun Governorship election has
described the rash of allegations and accusations emanating from the
camp of the PDP ahead of Saturday’s polls as a manifestation of the
fear of impending defeat.
In a statement in Osogbo on Friday, the Council’s Media Committee
Chairman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the PDP and its chorus singers
have resorted to such flimsy and unsubstantiated allegations because
defeat is now staring the party’s candidate in the face.
He also said those who are shouting themselves hoarse about an alleged
rigging and thuggery plan by the APC in Osun are only acting true to
type, because, he said, they are the certified architects of rigging
and thuggery, not minding that their murderous thugs have now been
sequestered and the rigging capability clearly curtailed.
”The PDP and some of its top members have accused INEC, the police
and other security agencies as well as the NYSC of all sorts of
things. They have made allegations of thuggery and rigging against the
APC. None of the accusations has been substantiated. If only the party
had invested its energy in preparing for the election, it may not have
become so jittery.
”Unfortunately, the die is cast and the PDP has seen the handwriting
on the wall, hence the party’s slip into the panic mode.
”On our part, we have confidence in the various institutions saddled
with the responsibility of ensuring a successful election in Osun
State. We have no need for thuggery or rigging because the people are
solidly behind us,” the Media Committee Chairman said.
