A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has described claims linking the party and its candidate, Alhaji Bola Oyebamiji, to rising political violence in the state as the handiwork of desperate politicians.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, made the remark while speaking with journalists on Sunday in Osogbo.
He said neither the party nor its candidate had any connection with individuals or groups allegedly using the APC’s name to perpetrate violence and create unrest in the state.
According to him, the APC is founded on the Omoluabi ethos, which upholds integrity, discipline, humility, honesty, respect, compassion, justice, accountability, and selfless service.
The APC chieftain condemned the killing of innocent residents for political purposes, describing those responsible as people with a “dead conscience.”
