The Rasaq Salinsile led faction of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has challenged Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s administration to substantiate its allegation of smear campaign against it.

Publicity Secretary of the faction Biodun Agboola, in a press release, said such allegation was unfounded and that the Oyetola’s administration should be the one to be reminded of many campaigns of calumny it has waged against his predecessor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola since 2018.

“Oyetola’s administration should rather check itself properly, saying it is being chased by its own shadow, noting that karma of what he did to his predecessor must be fast catching up with them.”

He recalled that vigorous and deliberate efforts were made by the Governor and his team in feeding the public with falsehood with a view to blackmail Aregbesola.

According to Agboola, the Governor was crying wolf where there was none in his allegation that a smear campaign was being plotted against him and his government.

Agboola said it was amazing that a Governor who has spent the last three years maligning and setting up groups to blackmail his predecessor has raised alarm over smear campaign.

He listed deliberate falsehood which the Oyetola’s government, for reasons best known to it, had funded and promoted in the last three years.

The publicity secretary said: “The case of Osun Masterminds Group is just the latest of such groups, faceless individuals and members of the cabinet that have been assigned to attack and blackmail the former governor, Rauf Aregbesola.”

“Saying the list of falsehood against Aregebsola is endless.”

The APC Spokesperson said rather than embark on continuation of people-focused and impactful programmes for which Oyetola was part of their execution, the Governor has put the state in reverse gear.

He said: “Virtually, every programme that earned our party accolades and made it an unbeatable one has been denigrated and diminished by the Governor. He has watched with pleasure how known members of his cabinet have used the social and mainstream media to cause disaffection among party members.

The party said the case of Osun Masterminds Group, which the government was encouraging to blackmail Aregbesola, has only backfired, adding that the question the group asked should be answered by the Governor.

The party said the governor must know that it was the civic responsibility of the people of the state to ask questions.
