Following a Save My Soul petition filed by Oyo State Deputy Governor, Engineer Rauf Olaniyan, Political Awareness Group, PAG has called on police to beef up security around the second citizen of the state.
This is contained in a statement in Ibadan by the Chairman of the Group, Barrister AbdWaheed Olowonjaye.
Barrister Olowonjaye said the Commissioner of Police in the state should not treat the case of the threat to the life of the Deputy Governor with levity and put in place machinery to ensure the safety of the man, noting that this would clear the police of any ulterior motive.
He said PAG, an Association of Muslim Professionals and Technocrats for Good Governance condemned the attack and destruction by some hoodlums on the property of the wife of the Deputy Governor, Professor Amdalat Olaniyan and called for a thorough investigation to bring the culprits to book.
Barrister Olowonjaye explained that it was high time that riot acts were read to political jobbers and touts who were behind last weekend senseless attack at the congress of the faction of People’s Democratic Party in Oyo State.
He equally described as unwarranted the purported move to impeach the Deputy Governor stressing that it would bring about crisis while pointing out that such experience in the past dragged the state into a state of decadence.
The PAG Chairman lauded the members of the Oyo State House of Assembly for coming out to deny the planned impeachment, warning them not to be used as agents to destabilize the state.
He urged Governor Seyi Makinde to consider the appointment of more Muslim judges to bridge the widening gaps in furtherance his electioneering promise that he would be fair to all religions.
Barrister Olowonjaye added that PAG would not derail in its objective of ensuring good governance is instituted at all levels of government so as to bring succour to the hapless and helpless masses.
