PRESS STATEMENT

PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY ONDO STATE CAMPAIGN ORGANISATION.

CRIMINAL PLANS OF THE APC TO COMPROMISE THE ELECTION.

(1) We take serious cognisance of actions the APC continues to take with a view to criminally compromise the Nov 16th election. These sundry actions which began weeks ago are beginning to crystallise and given an imprimatur of officialdom with the announcement of a Security Committee under the Chairmanship of the State Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Chief Tunji Adeleye.

(2) As earlier stated in a media interview by Dr Eddy Olafeso, Chairman, Campaign Organisation, that we will resist any attempt to drag the Amotekun Corps into the elections, we firmly place on record that Adeleye’s appointment is an undisguised attempt to make the Amotekun Corps play roguish roles like hooliganism and thuggery activities as we prepare for the election. This plan is an abuse of power and privileges and, if not quickly nipped in the bud, will be counter-productive with very deep consequences.

(3) In view of the fact that the APC is set to prosecute concrete lawless acts that are geared towards violence and killing, it becomes imperative to bring to public domain that on Sunday in Ile Oluji, a certain Rotimi Akinwamide aka Rotimi Canada, a Special Assistant to the Governor, and his band of thugs shot at Folarin Oyenusi, a member of the PDP and his family while travelling in their car, the matter was duly reported to the Police in the community, we await conclusions of investigations in this respect.
We are also aware that “barracks” have been opened for thugs across the State and we will furnish the Police and other security agencies with the addresses of hotels and facilities being used for this purpose.

(4) We are also aware of plans by APC to cause security scare in a number of Local Governments where “say” they will use their primary election template. Again we are also aware of plans to pick some members of our Party up using fake policemen, all these ludicrous plans are a clear invitation to crisis, and in spite of all, will not abate APC’s failure in the election.

(5) We once again call upon the security agencies to take their briefs seriously and nip all sinister and criminal plots of APC in the bud in the interest of peace in the State.
