The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has accused some disgruntled elements of plans to distabilise the party following pasting of fake campaign posters bearing the name of a former governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola.
APC, therefore, informed members of the public to disregard the posters of Oyetola, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, which were found pasted in some conspicuous places in Osogbo, the capital of the state.
According to a statement issued by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, on Wednesday, the printing and pasting of the posters were the handiwork of the disgruntled elements whose ulterior motive is to destabilise the party “after they had tried all possible means which ended up in futility.”
“We knew where the promoters of the fake posters are coming from and their mission to unsettle the party and cause cataclysm which has refused to either sit or stand.
“Our disappointment as the topmost opposition party in Osun State today is that the faceless promoters and leg soldiers of this obnoxious development lack tact and diplomacy as a proverbial witch roared yesterday and a child kicks the bucket the same day. Who does not know that it was the devilish witch that killed the innocent child.
“The long and short of the analogy is that the state leader of the party who is the immediate-past governor of Osun State did not print any poster for any political ambition to talk less of pasting same as falsely credited to him in the said posters,” he said.
Olabisi stated that Oyetola did not direct any one to either print or paste any poster for him, be it for socio-political or economic purpose.
He added that, “The printing and pasting of the posters was the use of propaganda and stratagem by the political detractors of Alhaji Oyetola which was the manifestation of a joke taken too far in order to unjustifiably lower his repute in the estimation of the forward-looking members of our party and our numerous supporters across the nooks and crannies of Osun State.
“Our joy is that the metaphorical arrow being shot by the emissaries of rift has missed its target. We should expect more of the conjectured stories from the expired politicians who are deeply pained by their forceful severance from the progressive party.”
