The All Progressives Congress(APC), Osun State chapter, has raised concerns over alleged plots by the newly elected local government executives of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) to cause unrest by staging a protest on Monday.
The opposition party on Saturday urged police and other security operatives to be on alert as the planned protest may disrupt the peace of the state.
APC through its Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi said: “Information at our disposal revealed that the embattled PDP-led state government resorted to the planning of the protest to whip up unmerited sentiment for its members illegally-selected and tagged the council chairmen and councillors.
“This is believed may likely have resultant effect of rocking the peace of the state as there is a precedent of such which occurred on 17th February, 2025 in which one of the reinstated APC local government chairmen was killed.”

“The make-believe protest may, of course, be made to look like a spontaneous one but its planned hidden motive seems to cause cataclysm across the state during which the reinstated chairmen and councillors with some leaders of the APC may be marked for possible attack during the melee.”
Meanwhile, the Director of Media of PDP, Oladele Olabamiji berated APC over the claim saying:” We are in government, we don’t need any protest, we are the one to ensure peace.”
