THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY in Osun State has condemned Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for making anti-democratic statement during the APC mega rally in Osogbo, capital of Osun State yesterday.
In the same vein, the opposition party said the absence of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the re-election rally of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola held in Osogbo on Tuesday was a sign of his disapproval of any attempt to rig the Saturday governorship election.
In a statement released and signed by the PDP caretaker chairman, Akindele Adekunle, obtained in Osogbo by our reporter, called on the security agencies to take a cue from the absence of President Buhari and reject unlawful directive to rig Saturday’s poll.
Read the text of the statement read:
“Buhari’s absence at the rally was a signal of his disapproval of any attempt to rig the governorship election as directed by the APC National Chairman, Adamu Abdullahi. We call on law enforcement agencies to resist unlawful orders and protect the democratic process.
“President Buhari, now eyeing his own legacy, clearly snubbed the Osogbo rally. It is now left to security chiefs to know that aiding and abetting rigging are not only criminal but also carry heavy repercussions afterwards.
“We particularly condemn Governor Oyetola for his assertion that he would not hand over power even before the election was held. We find the statement as anti-democracy and a declaration of war against the democratic process.”
