Osun Election: PDP accuses APC of treating election as war, blood price for power

By Luminous Jannamike

ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of treating the Osun governorship election as a do-or-die contest, alleging that its rhetoric suggests bloodshed could be the price for retaining political power.

The party said the increasingly combative tone around the election was dangerous, stressing that elections should offer citizens a peaceful way to choose their leaders, rather than turn political contests into battles where threats and intimidation overshadow the ballot.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee, Ini Ememobong, the PDP demanded an investigation into remarks attributed to Senator Francis Fadahunsi and other alleged threats to a peaceful and transparent election in Osun.

“We specifically demand a transparent investigation of the Senator Fadahunsi incident and other threats to peaceful and transparent elections in Osun State,” the party said.
