APC, PDP fight dirty over attack on Osun Governor’s wife convoy

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun state have disagreed over hoodlums attack on wife of the Governor’s convoy.

Some hoodlums had on Friday night attacked the Governor’s wife, Alhaja Kafayat Oyetola and her convoy in a gridlock in Owode-Ede, in Ede-North local government area of the state, home town of the Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

However, the APC while alleging that the attack was perpetrated by thugs loyal to the PDP, the latter opined that the attack was self-inflicted, blaming security details in the convoy for attacking a truck driver, whose faulty vehicle caused the gridlock.

The PDP in a statement by it Director of Media and Publicity, Oladele Bamiji accused the security details in the convoy of beating up the truck driver which prompted reaction from people at the scene, without knowing who was in the convoy.

“We call on the First Lady to apologise to the truck driver who was inhumanity treated. It is not enough to rush him to the hospital. The First Lady should atone for the sins of her overzealous escorts unless she was responsible for the directive to beat up the innocent driver.

“Instead of blaming the PDP, we call on officials of the outgoing government to be mindful of their interface with the people of Osun state. Our people have been badly governed with harsh economic pains under a clearly inhuman administration.

“It is unacceptable and reprehensible for a First Lady and her team to assault a citizen and turned round to blame the opposition”.

However, the APC Chairman, Gboyega Famodun in a statement issued by his media aide, Kola Olabisi described the PDP’s explanation as an afterthought and face saving. Vanguard
