Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Osun state, Gboyega Famodun, has frowned at the misrepresentation of fact and deliberate twisted story purported that the state governor and some cabinet members were attacked.

Famodun who was visibly disappointed by the publication of the story stated that it was a product of fallacy willingly orchestrated by enemies of peace for no  reason other than mischievous intention.

The state party chairman in a statement issued by his Media Consultant, Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo said he was shell-shocked that some journalists could base the filing of their stories on rumour in order to discredit their target for reasons which could not be in the interest of the prevailing peace and tranquillity under the administration of Governor Oyetola.

He disclosed that as a participant-observer in the cross-over service, he could not fathom any time that the governor or any member of his cabinet and himself were attacked.

He stated that the imaginary attack only existed in the imagination of its peddlers with obvious pungent intention to lower the popularity of the performing Governor Oyetola.

Famodun hinted that whatever the mission of the cooked-up story was, it had only succeeded in hitting the rock on arrival as there could not have been any reason to attack the governor who is working day and night to lessen what might constitute the burden of the people of the state.

The state party chairman was surprised when a minor disagreement between two urchins at such an annual gathering could be equated to attack of the governor and some members of his cabinet.

He enjoined journalists to always double-check their stories as the fourth estate of the realm and strive to do away with slaughtering of objectivity on the altar of subjectivity.

The party helmsman also cautioned newsmen to always desist from being used by disgruntled, expired and frustrated politicians who may come from any of the divides whose intention is to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.
