THE NEWS YOU NEED

THE former commissioner for Works in Osun State, Hon Remi Omowaiye has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to come to their aids in Ilesa by deploying more security officers to the zone to save the lives of members of the All Progressives Congress.

This is as the Former Commissioner advised Governor of the State, Senator Ademola Adeleke to face governance and leave thuggery.

Omowaiye disclosed this on Sunday while reacting to the attack that Sunday morning at the APC secretariat in Ilesha and other related attacks on members of the All Progressives Congress, APC including the Chief of Staff to the Speaker of the State House, Obisesan Olasunkanmi and rushed to a Wesley Guild Hospital in Ilesa.

While Olasunkanmi was attacked at Ifofin area of Ilesa by some political thugs, the APC secretariat was raided with bullets overnight.

The attacks came less than 24 hours after the PDP-led government was accused of fine-tuning plans to unleash violence on Oyetola’s men. Recall that Omowaye, few days ago, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt launched on him and his supporters in Ilesa.

Addressing journalists shortly after his on-the-spot inspection of the scene, the former Commissioner described the attack as diabolic and inhumane, saying it is unfortunate that such ugly incidence had been launched twice on his person and property within two weeks.

“Two weeks ago, there was an assassination attempt on me, yesterday His Excellency Adegboyega Oyetola was on his way here from Akure after attending Tinubu’s campaign in Akure, same yesterday, I called my group in order to sensitize them for the forthcoming presidential election in which Oyetola also joined to sensitize them”.

“But to our greatest amusement, we came this morning, we saw that the place had been raided with bullets. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s billboard was torn. This is the second time this is happening in two weeks, it is so shocking that this happened”.

“We’ve reported severally to security agencies, nothing has been done.
This is to tell you that PDP is known for violence.

“I was lucky to have survived the attack, if the office was filled with people yesterday when they attackers came, I’m sure there would have been lots of casualties”.

“We appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to dispatch security officers to Ilesha, to come to our aid. They are killing us. PDP is taking us to the dark age, where thuggery used to be the order of the day, PDP is known for thuggery. Governor Adeleke is known for thuggery, they should allow us to do our opposition in peace”.

“Adeleke should face governance and stop ordering thugs to attack us. They should allow us campaign for our APC candidates in peace”, he reiterated.
