(http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/thumbnail.php?file=REPS_556308240.jpg&size=article_medium) Dabiri-Erewa Lagos Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) lawmakers in the House of Representatives yesterday berated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for attempting to create religious tension and confusion in Osun State.
They are: Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa (Ikorodu), Moruf Akinderu-Fatai (Osodi-Isolo) and Deji Jakande (Somolu).
The trio described the Islamisation allegation against Governor Rauf Aregbesola as malicious, wicked and diversionary.
Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa frowned at the allegation of secession levelled against the governor, saying Aregbesola, who is an advocate of true federalism, restructuring and devolution of powers, was wrongly labelled by the PDP.
She described Aregbesola as a patriotic Nigerian, who has created an atmosphere of religious tolerance and harmony in his state.
According to her, dubious politicians, who were rejected at the polls, have been trying to divert the attention of the performing governor from his accelerated development programmes.
The journalist-turned politician said the brilliant performance of the ACN governor has sealed the hope of the PDP to return to relevance in the state.
Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa said: “PDP is yet to recover from its loss of power and relevance. Yet, when they were in power by default, they did nothing other than heating up Osun State. Aregbesola has performed. He accomplished in less than two years what the Olagunsoye Oyinlola administration could not do in seven years.”
Akinderu-Fatai said: “The PDP is a wounded lion, but it is in the cage of the people waiting to be consigned to the garbage heap of history. The party is bleeding in Osun State.”
He urged Osun residents to support the ACN government in repositioning the state for excellence.
Jakande said: “My advice is that Ogbeni Aregbesola should remain focus in his avowed determination to spread the dividends of democracy to the nooks and crannies of the state.”
