Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to drag it and Governor Gboyega Oyetola into whatever intra-party squabble it may be contending with within its fold.
The Chairman of the APC, Prince Gboyega Famodun, in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo yesterday, said it was normal for someone or an association of people who were fugitive to justice to unjustifiably attribute their misfortune to anyone having nothing to do with them.
There is a lingering legal issue between the former state chairman of the opposition party, Olasoji Adagunodo and the PDP at Ikire High Court presided over by Justice Sikiru Oke.
Famodun said: “The PDP will not be the first and the last party to have won the first leg of a governorship election in Nigeria. Why is it that each time a court ruling does not favour them, the PDP has the habit of blaming either Governor Oyetola or the APC?

“The whole world should know that neither the APC nor Oyetola is interested in whatever fate that may have befallen the opposition party that is constantly afraid of its shadow because of the illegal luggage in its load?
“No amount of distraction from the pungently confused and disarrayed opposition party will prevent Governor Oyetola and the APC from pursuing the retrieval of the stolen governorship mandate from Senator Ademola Adeleke through the tribunal to a logical conclusion.
“The Osun PDP should put their house in order and stop their misplaced blame game of alleged bribery for litigation. It is barbaric for the PDP to drag the judiciary in the mud over the so-called governorship election victory of its candidate, which is a subject of litigation at the ongoing election petition tribunal in Osogbo.”
