The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the coming election in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, on Friday, lambasted the national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the statement credited to him that his party would resort to jungle justice if the forthcoming governorship polls in Ekiti and Osun states were rigged.
In a statement signed by Omisore’s Director, Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi , he described Tinubu’s outburst as uncivil and inciting, which he said ought not to have emanated from somebody of his calibre.
The PDP governorship candidate contended that “the statement in its entirety is highly condemnable and I wonder why the so- called national leader of a party will choose an ivory tower to incite people against one another.
“We can understand the frustration of Mr. Tinubu and why he is calling for anarchy. It is simply because a particular judge is no more on the bench to do his bidding and that of his co-travellers, that is why he is calling for anarchy,” Omisore remarked.
According to him: “It is unthinkable that in spite of blood-letting by Boko Haram when all hands should be on deck to solve this menace, a party leader will be calling for shedding of more blood.”
Omisore added that “If Tinubu truly wants free and fair election as he wanted people to believe in Osun State, why are his party and people defending Akeju that he should be retained in Osun despite the fact that it has been proven that the controversial Osun REC is a card-carrying member of the APC?”
He, however, tasked security agencies to be proactive and nip in the bud any sinister motive of desperate politicians as the August 9 governorship election draws near, stressing that “if a national leader of the APC is saying his party should take laws into its hands and roast people in the name of seeking redress, then the evil that will be perpetrated by his supporters can be better imagined.”
