Osun Warns APC, Chieftains Against Incendiary Comments

Osun State government has warned a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart in the state  who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun against making incendiary comments on the person and personality of the governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke and the entire Adeleke family of Ede, Osun State.

A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi stated that government viewed with concern and dismay, the alleged careless and unguarded utterances made by Oyedokun at a radio personality interview where he was said to had advised Adeleke not to contest for a second term in Osun State if he doesn’t want an act of murder to be carried out and be hanged on him.

Alimi stated that the Osun State government viewed such comments as not only inciting but the highest form of desperation from Oyedokun and the entire Osun APC he defected to recently.

“The security agencies need to unravel what plots or scheming bordering on criminality Pa Oyedokun is privy to or hatching alone or in partnership with his new party. This is necessary to forestall maturing of a hideous agenda capable of plunging Osun into crisis ahead of 2026 polls, the statement further reiterated.

“As a Government, we view Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun’s utterances throughout  the duration of the *Oro Oselu* radio programme of  Monday, 20th of May, 2024 as totally incongruous, callous, dirty, unwarranted and nauseating to say the least.

“Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun’s comments, were not just within the boundaries of exercising his fundamental human rights of freedom of speech, they are at best morally awkward, debasing and a threat cum invitation for mayhem.

“Conclusively, as a Government, we are of the view that, whatever happens, bordering on the security of lives and property of the people of Osun State, before, during and  after the coming governorship election or any other election in our dear state, the likes of Oyedokun and APC members should be held accountable.”
