The Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has clarified the allegations by the State’s All Progressives Congress APC that a Department of State Services (DSS) officer was slapped
The opposition Party, APC had alleged that the Governor Ademola Adeleke and his sister have reportedly harassed DSS operatives attached with the Governor but PDP had denied the report saying it was a minor disagreement between DSS and the Police claiming superiority over one another of which the matter is being settled at both agencies high command in Abuja.
In a statement by the Director Media of PDP, Oladele Bamiji made available to journalists in Osogbo describe the opposition as rudderless suffering from severe pain over its loss of power.
He said rather than opposition peddling rumours, the state PDP advised the party to prevail on former Governor Gboyega Oyetola to apologize and return all looted assets rather than looking for petty diversionary tactics.
Bamiji who said it is worrisome to note that having consistently failed in governance as evident in the shambolic state it left Osun state, the APC is going about its opposition role in similar manner.
In a sane society, the APC should be apologizing to Osun people for the ruins it wrought on the state, not the shameful lie expedition it is currently on.
According to him Osun people will not forget in a hurry how a thriving state was thrown into a generational debt, hence, the resort to distract the people with barefaced concoction on the security details around Governor Adeleke. In fact, it goes to reinforce the impression of Osun people that the APC is an assemblage of people, whose only objective is to lie, loot and destroy the state.
“We like to emphasize that at no point did Governor Adeleke or any member of his family physically assaulted any security details attached to them. The truth, which can be easily verified from security personnel around him, is the kind hospitality and respect the Governor and his family have accorded them.
He called on Osun people to dismiss in its entirety, the insinuations of the APC as a clever plot to distract them from the questions of accountability posed to it by the Adeleke administration.
“Let us not forget who threw our state into indebtedness to the tune of N407 billion and still counting.
