Bloodletting Rumour Should Be a Wakeup Call

0

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the upcoming governorship election in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore has urged security agencies in the state not to take the rumour making the rounds about orchestrated plans by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to kill one of the aggrieved PDP governorship aspirants so as to send a wrong signal that he was killed within PDP, lightly.
In a press statement signed by the Director of Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi, Senator Omisore said: ?I have received series
of text messages about plans by some APC leaders to kill one of us in the PDP so as to make it look as if the killing is as a result of ivalry over the gubernatorial primary election
we just did.?
According to the former deputy governor: ?Ordinarily, we would have ignored Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola?s call for violence as a ranting of a drowning man, but the recent activities of Boko Haram has made it imperative for us to tell the whole world about the desperation of the APC led administration in Osun State.?
?Ogbeni Aregbesola has shown overtime that politics is a do or die game. During the October 20, 2012 gubernatorial election in Ondo State, he was there physically for his party, he also tried it in vain last year in Anambra gubernatorial election when he sent 181 thugs as ?Observers?.
?At different fora in the last few weeks, Ogbeni Aregbesola has boasted that defeating him at
the polls even if the election is free and fair would lead to bloodshed and on the 3rd of April this year in an interview he granted Osun Defender, he also boasted that for PDP to win the gubernatorial election in August, the party will have to march on blood, all these are enough evidences to check his excesses.
?Since one of our gubernatorial aspirants has become a political guinea pig in the hands of the APC prior to our primary, we have uncovered a sinister motive that the main reason Ogbeni Aregbesola has been calling for blood is to kill the aspirant in order to justify his blood letting campaign.
?We are by this medium putting the security forces on red alert to beef up security around the aspirant in question to forestall the prophecy of doom by Aregbesola to come to
pass.
?We know the intention of Aregbesola in this bloodletting campaign is to steal, to kill and
destroy having discovered that his lacklustre performance has become his albatross.
?We urge the people of Osun State to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement to the law enforcement agencies as we move towards the August 9 gubernatorial election, because the agent of darkness that has held the state by the jugular in the last three and half years are still lurking in the dark; and they will go to any length to unleash the blood sucking demon on the defenceless citizens,? he said.
