OSUN APC JITTERY OVER SEPT POLL - PDP


APC jittery ahead of Osun guber poll, says PDP

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is jittery ahead of the September 22governorship poll in Osun State.

The party, in a statement signed by Prince Diran Odeyemi, PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, copies of which were obtained by newsmen said the rate at which those it described as "true patriots and critical stakeholders in the affairs of the state", are moving out of the party has created fear in the ranks of the APC.

The party then advised APC and its "collaborators" to perish the thought of rigging the poll, saying the people of Osun have not hidden their resolve to protect their votes, even at the risk of their life.

It also warned INEC and security agencies not to submit to pressure from the ruling party to rig the governorship poll, stressing that "APC would eventually turn whoever join it to rig the poll to 'sacrificial lamb'.

It also congratulatulated all old PDP members that are returning to the party, after sojourning in APC, for taking a bold step towards rescuing Osun, urging those that are yet to return and other people in the fold of the ruling party, with geniune interest of the state at heart, to join efforts aimed at putting a stop to continued annexation of Osun to Lagos.

The statement reads in parts: "It is obvious there is growing anxiety in the ranks of the All Progressives Congress in Osun ahead of the governorship poll because of gains the PDP has recorded dislodging the tormentors of Osun.

"The apprehension is not out of place. The sinking APC is however not relenting in its resolve to rig the governorship poll. We however warn the party that Osun indigenes and the entire PDP family across the country will not allow rigging as it was done in Ekiti.

"We are ready to protect our votes, even at the risk of our life. We won't allow what happened in Ekiti here in Osun. To APC's collaborators in the security agencies and INEC, they should learn from how the party made some people a 'sacrificial lamb' after using them.

"APC will desert them, when plans to rig fails. They should not allow the party to use them, because people of Osun will not allow anyone to subvert their wish to elect Sen  Ademola Adeleke as their governor”
