The chairperson of the Peoples Democratic Party Ondo State Election Campaign Committee and Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has berated the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the various violent attacks that has been happening in the state in recent time.
In a statement made at the state police headquarters in Akure on Sunday evening, Gov. Makinde, lamented and condemned the incessant violent attack on the PDP members in Akure and its environs by the APC thugs, ahead of the forthcoming Gubernatorial Election in the State.
“We have always made our campaigns issue-based, but the APC government in this state prefers violent attacks as a form of response,” Mr Makinde informed the police commissioner.
“Ondo people are tired and our numerous supporters have continuously been subjected to unfair treatment by those who hold the reins of power in the state.
“But if they think what they did in Kogi is applicable here, they are making a mistake; because people are fully prepared for them.”
Gov. Makinde stated that the reason for the sparodic shooting and attack is to create voter’s apathy so to scare people way from performing the civil responsibility. He however urged security agencies to Wade in into the matter so as to ensure a peaceful, free and fair election come October 10.
“More still need to be done in the area of security, because APC is trying to create voters’ apathy so as to scare people away from performing their civic responsibility on the election day, which will be resisted by the masses,” said Mr Makinde.
“We have come here to intimate the Commissioner of Police with this ugly situation, and to extract assurance from him that the APC armed thugs would be silenced and that nobody will be intimidated on election day.”
