The Imole Campaign Council, the group leading the re-election campaign of the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has accused the opposition All Progressives Congress in the state of engaging in persistent culture of political intimidation, threats, and inflammatory rhetoric.
The council, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, in commemoration of June 12 Democracy Day celebrations, in Osogbo on Friday, recalled the incident of shooting witnessed in some communities across the state, alleging that a convoy branded with APC colours carried out the coordinated attacks.
Olajengbesi also said eyewitnesses accounts confirmed that the said “Convoy moved through Akoda, Owode, Olaiya, Old Garage, and Oke-Fia, firing shots sporadically. At least three people were seriously injured, among them a commercial bus driver and an elderly man.”
In a swift reaction through its June 12 message to the state, signed by the Head, Media and Publicity Committee, Osun APC Governorship Campaign Council, Remi Omowaiye, the governorship candidate of the party, Bola Oyebamiji, accused Adeleke of failing to fulfill electoral promises to the people.
