Osun Govt. Raises Alarm over Planned Disruption of Governorship Primaries

Osun State government has raised alarm over plan by some people to cause trouble during PDP governirship primary election on Tuesday.

Chief Press Secretary to governor, Gboyega oyetola, Mr. Ismail Omipidan, raised the alarm in a statement in Osogbo,.

Mr Omipidan said such individuals have stockpiled caps, T-shirts and other materials bearing insignia of the All Progressives Congress (APC), its government and that of its governorship candidate, Adegboyega Oyetola, to be distributed to political thugs and hoodlums to foment trouble during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary election.

He called on the PDP to watch out for the activities of fifth columnists within its fold, urging security operatives to deal decisively with real and potential troublemakers before, during and after the primary.

The government adds that there is an intelligence report indicating that the motive of those behind the dastardly act was not only to create the impression of Osun being a volatile State but to also put the blame on the doorstep of Government.

He appealed to parents and guardians to rein in their children and wards so that they will not be used as tools by merchants of violence and destruction.
