Our attention has been drawn to an evil political meeting held at the residence of Chief Bisi Akande by chieftains of the Osun state All Progressives Congress(APC). We note all the details and we conclude that the Osun APC has finally conceded defeat ahead of the August 15th polls. We are firstly disappointed that the calibre of people gathered at the said meeting could descend as low as to contemplate political killings of prominent Accord leaders as well as other illegal and unconstitutional actions towards compromising the August elections. This development is a reprehensible descent into political perdition which has further reinforced the imminent defeat of Bola Oyebamiji on August 15th. Now that the Osun APC has openly accepted defeat, we call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ignore and reject the failed plans of the Osun APC. We call the attention of Mr President to the genesis of current development which stemmed from Oyetola/Oyebamiji’s lack of capacity both in go...

The Spokesperson to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has dismissed the allegation of violence raised against the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye, as a conjecture and a desperate attempt to distract attentions from the campaign of terror the Osun state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is waging on Osun people, declaring that Alhaji Akinleye is a man of peace who abhors violence in any form. It is quite distasteful that the Osun APC is employing crooked means to target a good man with outright lies so as to impugn his character in the estimation of unsuspecting public.  Alhaji Akinleye is a politician well respected in the society for his peaceful disposition to pursuing political objectives. If there is anyone or group  who trades in violence to silence opponent, it is no other but the Osun APC, and it is quite unfortunate that the party will be so brazen to identify with Arabambi, a notorious thug who is suspecte...
