•He was attacked, says Adeleke

There was tension in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, yesterday as members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) clashed over an alleged plot by the PDP to buy up Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of Thursday’s governorship election rerun in four council areas.

The police are holding a PDP stalwart, Fatai Oyedele, popularly known as Diekola. He was said to have led some leaders of his party to Ward 5, Unit 17 in Alekuwodo to buy up cards, but the PDP said he was canvassing for votes.



Agents and leaders of the APC and the PDP were in the area to woo would-be voters, an eyewitness said, adding that there was a misunderstanding that led to a clash.

The incident could not be confirmed from the Police as the cell phone of the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Command, Folashade Odoro, was switched off.

But APC Spokesman Kunle Oyatomi denied that the party’s supporters were involved in any clash. Oyedele was caught in possession of 62 PVCs, he claimed.

Oyatomi said: “There was nothing like thugs attacking anybody. That is absolute nonsense. We don’t have thugs. He was caught with PVCs and the Civil Defence officials arrested him.”

The Director, Media and Publicity, Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, said that not only was Oyedele attacked by the “APC thugs, also scores of supporters of the PDP in the areas where the rerun election will be held on Thursday were attacked”.

Rasheed called on security agents to forestall further attempts to attack the PDP leaders and supporters to stop the party from winning Thursday’s rerun.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday declared Saturday’s governorship election inconclusive due to irregularities.

The commission announced Thursday for the rerun

The PDP and the APC are the top contenders in the election.

The APC candidate Gboyega Oyetola has said the arrest of the PDP chieftain has confirmed the general opinion that PDP was out to subvert the will of the people.



The Oyetola Campaign Organisation, in a statement in Osogbo, alleged that the PDP chieftain and two other officials led thugs to the controversial polling unit in Ward 5 Osogbo, an action that led to the cancellation of the election in the ward. The result, it said, was rejected due to the difference between the result and the card reader’s record.

The statement reads: “We are vindicated today that the security agents finally nabbed one of the PDP vote buying and selling dealers, who has been the Harrowhead of procurement and commodification of Permanent Voters Card (PVC). We had expressed concern to the security agents about the violent posture of the PDP and the way they were monetising votes before and during the last Saturday election.

“Despite the commitment of President Muhammad Buhari and Governor Rauf Aregbesola to ensuring that the election is peaceful and devoid of any violence, the same set of people arrested have been attacking APC members in Osogbo, the state capital and openly distributing money even on the eve of election.”

The organisation claimed that on Saturday night, the PDP chiefs invaded a coalition centre in Ward 5 Osogbo and forced the APC and other party agents to sign a doctored result that was later rejected at the local government coalition centre. “This singular action substantially contributed to the inclusiveness of the election that will cost the INEC, Security agents and political party a lot of resources,” it said.

“To us, APC government as acknowledged by the local and international observers has provided a level playing ground for the free, fear and transparent election in Osun and peoples must not allow to subvert the popular will of the people.”

“ As a candidate in this election, we wish to state clearly that the arrest of Diekola is one out of PDP hundreds agents and dealers purchasing voters card in all the affected units in Ife South, Ife North, Orolu and Osogbo local governments.”

“While we commend the police for the arrest, we urg them and other security agents to be on alert to prevent individuals who are hell bent on subverting the will of the people, and demand that the police must investigate Diekola thoroughly and prosecute any individual connected to the criminality, no matter how highly placed in the society.”

“This election is about the future of the state and no matter any interest , the popular wish of the majority must be protected; the choice of the people must emerge, that is the very essence of democracy.”

PDP spokesman Diran Odeyemi denied that Diekola collected voter cards. He said the PDP chief had gone to the area to seek votes for the party’s candidate when thugs descended on him.

“Let the police show proof that he was arrested with the cards”, he said, adding that the action was to intimidate PDP supporters

So corrupt Pdp rigged the election, no wonder the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist were hailing thief saraki as the game changer,
So thugs invaded the poling unit and force the electoral officer to sign a doctored result,
No wonder f9 senator got 14,459 vote in oshogbo.
And he won in ede north and south with wider margin.
And the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist will not see the rigging methods of bia-fra terrorist party now.
But if the police arrest those thieves they will be crying wolf.

No matter what, APC should try again next time. PDP all the way.

South East especially Abia and IMO should key into this revolution. Ekiti and Osun election has made us to understand that SW are ready to cleanse their States off bad leadership no matter the Party, This has already sent a stern message to other SW state government that if you don't work, you will be voted out and this will force their government to be up and doing.

Abia must Liberate himself from PDP into APGA while IMO must Liberate himself from APC into APGA

APC to APGA sir

Now this is the do or die kind of politics. Less than 3000 persons to determine the next government for 4years. They will both do anything to ensure they be in power.

Those that got PVCs in those areas are the real MVP now.. auction 100k going going going gone

Everyone should be on alert

The drama is just beginning. Am sure the APC will do everything in their power to try to win this election but God pass them.

It's battle to finish. It's now about who can outdo the other in spending!

This is getting hit

Sarkki so you are still commenting on political issue after running your mouth on Osun election,no single intergrity at all

Story for the god's ....

For your dream abi

Oyetola will win

All I know is there will be a new era of change and its time for PDP to take over osun. enough of the suffering.

You are patriotic indeed... And What are your facts again?

All PDP needs is for her own pvc holders to all come out to the last person with that of the SDP voters 100% which Omisore has assured of and vote pdp massively. They shouldn't give this evil party in the osun state the easy ride to victory. They should be calm and strategic. People like Bukola saraki should really come in with his gimmicks, tricks and smartness to give them clues about what and what should be done not all these local ways of doing it. Tinubu is on his game and he shines in situations like this. Make Dem calm down and be very strategic. I learnt even the civil servants are mobilizing themselves to the last person to vote pdp as they all know this is there time of liberation. PDP Osun, be very wise. That's all I can say.

If your main party guys are being arrested by police and military guys, that will create fear and panic for the average voters that are not for do or die. Be wise be wise be wise. Play this Thursday like a chess game.

Who we go believe now

share if you are in support of osun state PDP and click like if you preferred APC

You are very stupid, PDP need to unite to remove the demons and you re saying nonsense. Let Abia remain PDP instead anambra should defect to pdp..we still waiting welcome Edo state and Lagos state governor s to PDP .

buhariguy:
and if osun want to cleanse themselves from bad leadership according to the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist, it is f9 senator through rigging that will cleanse osun people.
Try another method.

Guy I am a reasonably supporter of Buhari but anti apc/aregbesola in osun. I will ask you a simple question between former president Jonathan and president Buhari, who has performed better? Please answer that question.

You sounded well in the first line but later went terrible in the latter part. Who are the flag bearers for governorship under APGA in Abia and APGA in Imo? So obviously they don't have yet but you want apga? Is that not the same thing southwest did with apc and reasonable voters are correcting now that it is not about the party but what flag bearers will bring to our tables? You are a party supporter not a candidate supporter. So if APGA brings a worse candidate than Rochas in imo so far it is APGA you are fine with it?
