The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo state, Senator Sarafadeen Alli, Saturday, raised the alarm over the alleged murder of a member of the party by suspected political hoodlums .
In a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity, Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation (SSACO), Prince Bisi Oladele, he alleged that the Makinde and Adekanmbi APM have adopted bloodshed as their new campaign method.
The APC governorship candidate noted that the political ambition of anyone is not worth the life of any individual living anywhere in Oyo state.
“The Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation (SSACO) was gripped with horror as an APC member in Ward 6, Ibadan South West Local Government, Ridwan, popularly known with the nickname Paul Moor, was machetted to death by suspected APM hoodlums on Friday.
” The young man was gruesomely murdered for defecting from APM to APC, only 24 hours to his 35th birthday.
“This is the latest in the series of attacks on opposition figures in the last two weeks
“Senator Alli’s wife, Alhaja Tawakalit Alli, was attacked during a peaceful free health programme she organised last week. The APC candidate for Ibadan North-West/South-West Federal Constituency Hon. Folake Olunloyo-Oshinowo, was also attacked during a peaceful campaign on the same day,” it said.
The statement further stated that “The campaign train of Hon. Remi Oseni, the APC candidate for Oyo South Senatorial District, was also attacked on the same day.
“These ugly attacks and killing of opposition members in Oyo state are anti-democratic, senseless and unacceptable”.
” The rights of Nigerians to freedom of association and speech are guaranteed in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and remain sacred. Governor Makinde and Hon. Adekanmbi must always remember this fact. The state must not descend to bloodshed by their directive”.
