Ogun State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday reacted to the 72-hour ultimatum demanded by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the police to publish the Situation Report (SITREPs) on allegation of vote buying levelled against it and its governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun, during the March 18, 2023 governorship election.
The APC in a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, warned the PDP to “be man enough” to face the criminal charges preferred against it and its defeated governorship candidate, Hon. Ladi Adebutu by the federal government and desist from wasting the court’s time.
The PDP’s state chairman, Dr Sikirulai Ogundele had on Monday addressed a press conference wherein he gaver the 72-hour ultimatum to the commissioner of police, Abiodun Alamutu, stressing that his party was getting uncomfortable with the reluctance of the police to release to the public, the report of an allegation of vote buying levelled against APC and Governor Abiodun.
Reacting to Ogundele’s allegations, Oladunjoye said the Ogun PDP conglomerate should stop “sounding like a broken record” in their ultimatum demand, stressing that it behooves on them to be man enough to face the criminal charges preferred against them by the federal government.
He said, “We have gone through the porous press statement and we cannot find anything more than the trite excuses, false claims and contradictions of the defeated candidate who has been on the run from the law since his invitation by the police.
“By now, the media must have even been tired of the monotonous noise of these losers. A party, whose candidate has shunned Police invitation, fled the country and attempted to stop his trial, is unabashedly making false accusations and preemptively blackmailing the Police”.
