PDP desperate to make Kwara ungovernable -APC
The Kwara State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is desperate to make the state ungovernable through its evil plot to constitute a danger to democratic fortunes and future of the state.
The party said billboards with inscription of APC logo and imprint of APC manifestos sponsored by APC members and erected at the frontage of their houses and junctions of their streets in Ilorin metropolis have been massively destroyed by PDP thugs in a clear attempt to provoke retaliation from APC members in order to set the ground for its evil plot to burn the state.
The State Chairman of APC, Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani who raised the alarm while addressing a press conference, stated that the PDP with the full support of Abuja politicians have perfected evil plans to burn the state.
Balogun-Fulani noted that for the record, while APC has no issue of violence, PDP had fertile record of violence.
He said after the failed attempt to instigate the impeachment of the Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed as the PDP did in Adamawa State, events in the state in the past few days pointed to a desperate attempt by the PDP and its sponsored political thugs to make the state ungovernable through instigated political unrest and crises.
According to him "The PDP has been indicted in the entire fracases that have occurred in our dear state. It was PDP thugs that disrupted business activities and destroyed properties at Post Office, Taiwo Isale, Niger Road, Unity Road and other areas of the State on a Monday in protest to the failure of PDP Leadership to fulfill promises made to the thugs that were mobilized to a PDP rally held a day earlier and attended by President Goodluck Jonathan.
"It was PDP that held bloody congresses in Kwara State that led to loss of lives while many were left brutally wounded. It was a PDP chieftain and member of Kwara State House of Assembly, Hon Ilyasu Ibrahim and his son that were allegedly arrested with loads of ammunition.
"It was at the residence of former Kwara State PDP Caretaker Chairman, Solomon Edoja, that gang of PDP thugs were arrested with firearms and guns. It was the clash of PDP thugs at PDP senatorial meeting at Oro Lodo primary school, Omu-Aran, recently that resulted into violence at the entire stretch of the area.
"It was PDP thugs that terrorized the whole city of Ilorin and murdered innocent Kwarans due to mere controversies on the sharing formula of a largesse given to them by a PDP chieftain. PDP has boundless affinity for brutality, bloodshed and violence. The list is endless.
"The frustration of the opposition PDP has led to declaration of war on the people of Kwara State. If this violent trend is not arrested - it is capable of turning the state to a war-ridden zone.
"Indeed maintaining silence in the face of the ceaseless violations of provisions of the Nigerian Constitution and violent attacks on APC members will amount to complicity in violence and lawlessness.
The APC chairman urged members of the party to be peaceful in the face of ceaseless provocations and intimidations by PDP thugs as the security agencies funded by tax payers monies are expected to swiftly arrest the ceaseless unfortunate bloody attacks on our party members.
He called on the Police Command to immediately arrest the PDP thugs and their leaders while introducing proactive measures to curtail further attacks by the PDP thugs on APC members and the good people of Kwara State.
