The publicity secretary of All Progressives Congress, Ogun State Chapter, Comrade Tunde Oladunjoye has raised alarm over impending "attacks and killings of political figures in Ogun State, especially leaders of APC" by some "identified" (unnamed) persons.
In a short statement shared on his social media (Facebook) page, the spokesman of the party in the state who was recently appointed alongside other caretaker members by the National Working Committee of the party, Oladunjoye, claimed that those who are to be used in carrying out this heinous attack on political figures in the state "have already been brought in from Niger Delta", the South South region of the country.
"This is no political talk!
Let the whole world not look elsewhere when you start hearing of attacks and killings of political figures in Ogun State, especially leaders of APC.
Boys have already been brought in from Niger Delta." The short message reads.
It should be noted that former President Olusegun Obasanjo had during Ibogun-Olaogun Day celebration in Ibogun, Ifo Local Government of the state, where the State Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun among other dignitaries present warned that the state should not be plunged into political violence in the coming election.
Chief Obasanjo was quoted to have stated that
"if you do not stop violence among your supporters, you will have yourselves to blame. There is no earthly reason why we should not have a peaceful election in the state".
There have been wide reports of political parties' campaigns attacks as well as campaign materials vandalism across the state by agencies of government and thugs loyal to a particular political leader rooting to install his preferred choice of candidates.
