The Osun State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Dr Adekunle Akindele has accused the All Progressives Congress of plotting to attack the sitting of tribunal proceedings today.

The Tribunal will resume today to have final written addresses of both the petitioners and the defendants.

“Our attention has been drawn to a false alarm by the opposition All Progressives Congress about a purported plot to attack the State High Court by hoodlums. We want to alert the public that APC has adopted a subterfuge of leveling allegations on a plot it has perfected.” Akindele said.

“The members of the public will recall that few months ago, two APC members were arrested with loaded guns at the entrance of the State High Court while the Tribunal proceedings were ongoing. Only the prompt intervention of vigilant members of the public saved the situation on that day. When the APC now raises an alarm about a planned attack, we are apprehensive. We have the feeling that the APC has a sinister plot to launch an attack on the Tribunal sitting. Aware of its very bad case at the Tribunal, the APC is scheming to create mayhem to disrupt the sitting.”

“We consequently call on the Commissioner of Police to invite the acting Chairman of APC and the media adviser for questioning. The duo probably have insight into the alleged plot to disrupt the Tribunal. Their testimonies will assist the Police in the maintenance of law and order.”

Meanwhile the State chapter of the APC had earlier in a statement by Kola Olabisi, the Director of Media of the APC has advised the security agencies to investigate the activities of the ruling party.

Quoting the acting Chairman of the APC, Tajudeen Lawal, Olabisi said the PDP should be investigated in order to bungle the boasted plans of some political stakeholders in the state to sponsor hoodlums to cause mayhem in and outside the tribunal venue.

Lawal urged the APC members to turn out in their usual numbers for the tribunal attendance in order to boost the morale of the party’s lawyers who have been working day and night to secure justice for the party in the July 16, 2022 governorship election.

“The members of our party should continue their usual culture of decorum no matter the provocation from any quarters in order to be active partakers in watching the imminent light at the end of the tunnel,” Lawal stated.
