Former Ekiti State governor, Chief Olusegun Oni, has described claims by former Lagos State governor, Chief Bola Tinubu, that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was planning to get him incarcerated because of his role in the installation of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governors in the South-West through the judiciary as an assault on the collective intellects of Nigerians.

He added that “Tinubu and his likes are only being pursued by their fraudulent shadows.”

Oni, in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr Wale Ojo-Lanre, said it was insulting for anyone to claim that the attorney-general and minister of justice was being put under pressure to “look for any offence, no matter how flimsy” to victimise Chief Tinubu.

The former governor, who also alleged that he was aware of a plot by Tinubu and his hawks to assassinate him, said: “They held a meeting in Lagos a few days ago where it was agreed that noose should be tightened against Chief Segun Oni for his stance on the mafia being led by Tinubu.”

He, however, declared that no amount of threat, blackmail and intimidation would stop him from rising against the mafia that was threatening the existence of Nigeria as a sane country, saying, “this time round, we are no longer going to keep quiet and allow this mafia the freedom to purchase the soul of Nigeria. If we do, we will all have ourselves to blame because then, they will rape or even kill our wives and if we go to court, nothing will happen because it is their men that will be met there.”

Calling on security agencies in the country not to treat Tinubu’s claim that he was being targeted for assassination with levity, Oni said: “We all know the way this mafia operates. When they want to kill someone, they will be the first to raise the alarm that someone is after their lives.”
