The Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has told the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to steer clear of the state, saying that Oyo State funds cannot be used to fund the party (PDP).
APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Dr. AbdulAzeez Olatunde, stated that the failure of the PDP to win the presidential election had caused its members to go delusional.
He noted that the allegation that Governor Ajimobi planned to use fake police and NURTW members to cause unrest was a figment of their “puerile imagination and a product of hallucination.”
He said that everyone in the state knew that Ajimobi stood for peace and would not trade it for anything.
He stressed that Nigerians could not forget in a hurry the violent years of PDP and the ruins caused by the party which was gradually being salvaged by the APC administration of President Buhari.
The APC spokesman warned that it would resist the alleged election rigging and vote buying plans of the PDP in the gubernatorial election, stating that it would not allow PDP to turn Oyo State into a macro finance bank.
“We wouldn’t have responded to PDP hallucinatory statements since the people know the party is synonymous with violence, maladministration, financial recklessness and mudslinging. With their rejection by Nigerians in the February 23 election, we assumed that they would have changed their ways.
“But like the saying goes, old habits die hard. The habit of PDP to peddle falsehood is their second nature. Their antics to get to Oyo seat of power will be another futile effort. The electorate know them, they know how they ruined the country’s economy and perpetrated a lot of violence in Oyo State and across the country.
“The peace currently being enjoyed in Oyo State was elusive during the ruling years of PDP. It is only PDP that will lay the foundation of peace and destroy same with its hands. The present administration in the state is people oriented and it has vowed to sustain peace, safety and security bringing evident development, growth and progress to Oyo State.”
