Osun LG Crisis: You Are The Aggressors, Stop Playing Victim Card – APC Tells Adeleke, PDP
- Says Egbetokun Doing His Job
The All Progressives Congress in Osun State on Wednesday said the Peoples Democratic Party and Governor Ademola Adeleke were the aggressors in the ongoing crisis rocking the state.
This was as the party chided the chairman of the PDP in Osun State, Sunday Bisi, for alleging that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, was planning to assasinate Governor Adeleke.
APC said the Police boss was only doing his duty, cautioning the PDP and Governor Adeleke to stop playing the victim of the crisis.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that a political crisis has engulfed the state over the Court of Appeal judgement on the sacked local government chairmen elected under the immediate past administration.
A statement by the APC director of media and information, Kola Olabisi, described the allegation by Bisi as a reckless and unsubstantiated accusation against the nation’s police boss.
The statement added that it was disheartening that the PDP chairman could descend so low to take up on the IGP for diligently performing his official responsibilities.

The statement further reads, “It does not require rocket science for one to know that the Osun State PDP under the chairmanship of Mr Sunday Bisi and governorship of Senator Ademola Adeleke, has been the aggressor in the ongoing political crisis bedeviling the hitherto State of the Virtuous since the goons of the governor began their onslaught against the supporters of the APC across the state.
“If the PDP chairman thinks that the sentiment he has been playing up by feigning the victim of the untoward development to the extent that quite a number of our members were killed by the PDP hoodlums on Monday, would absolve him and his cohorts of complexity in the murder case, he is joking.
“While we, as a party, are not holding brief for the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Egbetokun, with reference to the needless vituperation on him by the embattled state PDP chairman about the subsisting crises caused by Governor Adeleke for disrespecting the rule of law, but it disheartening that a supposed party chairman could descend so low to take up on the IGP for diligently performing his official responsibilities.
“The IGP cannot be rebuked for honoring and sticking to Section 287(2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that: “The decisions of the Court of Appeal shall be enforced in any part of the Federation by all authorities and persons.”
“How does this statutory role of the police amount to willingness or readiness to kill the Osun State governor? Such reckless and unsubstantiated accusation against the nation’s police boss is a figment of imagination by someone whose sense of reasoning is being propelled by a hard substance”.
