The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oyo State chapter, has accused the
state’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being
desperate to blackmail the laudable achievements of the state
Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde and the ruling party in the state.
The PDP, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Engr. Akeem
Olatunji, accused the APC of sponsoring all manners of falsehood
against the PDP and the Makinde government all in an effort aimed at
belittling the successful clearing of the rot left behind by the APC
in Oyo State and the positive turnaround the state has begun to
experience since Makinde assumed office.
“We are greatly appalled at the desperation of the APC to publicise
all manners of lies and falsehood against our government.
“There is a permissible level of decency in politics and we expect all
Omoluabis to follow that cause.
“Rather than wish our state well after the eight years of disastrous
rule and bad governance the APC foisted on Oyo State, that party is
standing alone as a rotten apple in the basket, seeking to negatively
affect others.
“Let us assure the lie merchants in the APC that our party, the PDP
stands firm with Governor Seyi Makinde, and the laudable achievements
he has recorded in 100 days.
“No member of the PDP is angry with the Governor and no one is
expressing any such frustration as contained in the lies being
marketed by the APC,” the statement said.
The statement indicated that the PDP is solidly behind Governor
Makinde on every step all the way, as he continues in his giant
strides of laying the foundation for the accelerated development of
Oyo State.
The PDP Publicity Secretary added that the PDP is more than ever
before united as a family.
“We are making particular reference to a story from the frustrated
camps of the APC with the headline ‘PDP Leaders Dump Oyo Gov’. We
affirm that this is another of their classic lies, as such write-up is
not only laughable but comical.
“It can only come from agents of darkness who do not wish Oyo State
well,” the PDP spokesman said.
The statement further read: “Let us place on record that purveyors of
such stories are either deluded, suffering from acute amnesia, or just
trying to make a nuisance of themselves.
“It is not only unfounded, frivolous and malicious but also a great
lie that stands no reason. Governor Makinde is no longer about Oyo
State, he is already a nationally acclaimed deliverer of dividends of
democracy and good governance.
“We are 100 per cent satisfied with his every move and decision,
because he treats every member of PDP as members of the family. We
therefore, enjoin all members of the public to disregard in totality
the distractive publications, falsehood and unbridled lies being
peddled against the service-delivering Governor Makinde.”
