The acting Chairman of Action Congress of Ni[/size]geria (ACN) in Osun State, Elder Adebiyi Adelowo, has raised the alarm over threats to the peace and security of the state by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
[/size]He charged all security agencies in the country to beam their searchlights on the state to ensure security of lives and people of the state. According to Elder Adelowo in a statement issued and signed by him yesterday, the statement credited to the National Vice Chairman (South-West) of the PDP, Mr. Segun Oni, at the party’s South West meeting in Osogbo, that they would make the state ungovernable was not only reckless but amounts to security threat.The statement reads in part “We wish to draw the attention of all security agencies in Nigeria to what is now established as threats to the peace and security of the state of Osun by the Peoples Democratic Party.“For a national officer of the party in the rank of National Vice Chairman, Mr. Segun Oni, to issue threats of the party’s plot to make Osun State ungovernable remains the clearest indication of the diabolical plans being hatched by the PDP and its agents to bring back misery to our people, who God in His infinite mercy, delivered from the evil grip after seven and a half years of stagnation, violence and glaring retrogression.Adelowo said that reckless statements and threats from anybody and a national officer of a party for that matter should not be taken with levity by the security agencies.He said: “For the avoidance of doubts, we state categorically that nobody has been arrested or is being prosecuted in Osun State on any political grounds.Adelowo said: “We see this as an open declaration of war on our people. Since the inception of this administration, we have guaranteed the peace and security of our people and their property.“This feat, which eluded the PDP for the seven and half years of the locust they were, has been accomplished through purposeful leadership, commitment to the welfare of the people and unparalleled development initiatives which have made the masses to say never again to PDP.“We must remind Oni and the PDP just in case they have forgotten that the people rejected the poverty, violence, mayhem, misery and lack of vision which the party represented in their lives in the last general election and they have remained committed to that rejection.“How then do Oni and his party ever dream of any possible acceptance from the same people they maimed, killed, sent into exile and practically rendered prostrate by killing their economy?
