PDP plotting to impeach Governor Aregbesola – APC

Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party is plotting to rig during Saturday’s House of Assembly election.

APC’s Director of Publicity, Kunle Oyatomi, said in a statement on Friday that the PDP was “violently mobilising to snatch victory in 16 of the 26 House of Assembly seats, in a desperate bid to put the PDP in the comfortable position to eventually impeach the governor.”


Meanwhile, the 26 lawmakers in the Osun State House of Assembly are all members of the APC.

The APC has, however, vowed it would resist plans by the PDP to rig in the election.

Oyatomi said, “Violence is not a component of democracy and any political party that indulges in it, as the PDP allegedly plans to do on Saturday, should be decisively contained and sanctioned by the law-enforcement agents.

“Osun is peaceful and the security agencies should do everything within their power to keep the state peaceful.”

However, the PDP has debunked the allegation, stating that the party is not a sponsor of violence.

“We call on the people of Osun State to go to the polls en masse on Saturday and vote peacefully. They should be law-abiding and vote for whoever they want to vote for without fear,” its Publicity Secretary, Bola Ajao, said.
