Osun APC tackles Gov Adeleke over security threat claim, says he's trying to divert attention

The All Progressives Congress (APC), have reacted to the security threat raised by Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Recall that Adeleke had revealed that hoodlums are planning to attack schools and farm settlements as well as abductions in the state.

Reacting to the security alarm, the APC in a statement issued by its state chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, called out the Governor saying he is creating fear and panic in the state with the security warnings.

He also accused Adeleke of trying to divert attention from discussing his ill-thought-out N100bn knowing the hunger ravaging the state.

Lawal said, “Governor Adeleke should sit up for once and give the people of the state the quality governance he promised the people during his campaign instead of engaging in the creation of another phoney agenda meant to have a diversionary motive.

“We are not politically inexperienced not to have an understanding that the Adeleke-invented security threat against the state is a ploy to shift their attention from discussing his ill-thought-out N100bn white elephant when hunger is working on four legs in all the streets in the nooks and crannies of the state.

“There is nothing wrong in a government being proactive on security issues, but it is criminal and an express admission of failure for any government to use the same as a weapon of deceit to confuse the governed.”

The PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi, in response to the APC’s comment, slammed the party for describing the Adeleke-led government as inhumane, unpatriotic, and delusional for refuting reports of threats to peace and security in the state.

“We find it reprehensible and condemnable for the state APC to deny reports that have been confirmed by virtually all the security agencies in the state. Must the APC play politics with everything?

“A patriotic governor raised the alarm on security threats and he summoned the state security council meeting. The council meeting attended by top security and service commanders reviewed the situation in the light of their field reports and mapped out preemptive measures.

“The resolution of the state security meeting was made public including a list of steps the state is to take to stop the threats from materialising. Instead of commending the governor for his foresight, the opposition has chosen to play bad, sore loser again, levelling unfounded allegations and playing games with the lives and properties of our people.
