The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has categorically denied allegations made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Governor Ademola Adeleke is using the Amotekun Corps to orchestrate attacks against reinstated local government chairmen and councillors.
According to the APC, Adeleke’s directive instructing the newly installed local government chairmen and councillors to stay away from council secretariats is a calculated deception. The party claims that Adeleke’s administration is secretly plotting attacks against the reinstated officials, allegedly using the Amotekun Corps and non-state actors brought in from Oyo State and the Niger Delta.
The APC, in a statement titled “Adeleke’s Directive to Illegal Council Chairmen to Avoid LG Secretariats Is Deceitful,” accused Adeleke of planning to use the Amotekun Corps and thugs to forcefully prevent the reinstated officials from assuming office. The party also alleged that Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Senator Bala Mohammed, are part of an alleged plot to stoke crisis in Osun State.
