You Are Not In Any Position To Teach Us How To Handle LG Crisis – APC Knocks Makinde

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the advice from the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde concerning the crisis in the state is unnecessary and not welcomed.

The party urged Makinde to stop referring to them as the aggressor in the lingering political impasse in the state.

Reports that Makinde, while in Osogbo, Osun State on Sunday to witness the swearing-in of the council chairmen by his Osun State counterpart, Ademola Adeleke, had advised the state APC not to resort to self-help but to approach the court to settle the matter.

However, reacting via a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, the APC claimed that Makinde was simply trying to please Adeleke.

Olabisi said,

“That piece of advice by Governor Makinde was unnecessary as every available development pointed to the fact that the Oyo State Governor was internalising metaphorical blood and spitting white spittle in order to please his fellow governor of the same party extraction.

“If we may ask, where was Governor Makinde when his political soulmate in the hitherto State of the Virtuous used the sanctity of the Osun State Government House to incite the members of his party to go all out and attack our members and chieftains?

Where was Governor Makinde when the political hoodlums of his party killed through gunshots the newly reinstated chairman of our party in Ikire, Hon Remi Abass, Irewole Local Government Council Area, apparently emboldened by the earlier incitement by Governor Adeleke?

“Where was Governor Makinde when the thugs loyal to the PDP killed one person in Irojo, Ilesa, Osun State, during the illegal shambolic local government council election purportedly held by his brother on Saturday.

The party implored Makinde to tell Nigerians why he lost his voice “when daredevil thugs traceable to the violent thugs of his party almost killed a chieftain of our party, Engr Remi Omowaiye, who is a serving Executive Director at the Federal Housing Authority and Mr Tobi Famurewa in Ilesa a few days ago?

We want to make it clear to Governor Makinde that he is not in a better position to teach the leadership of the APC how to prosecute the ongoing efforts of our duly elected chairmen and councillors how to reap the benefit of the Court of Appeal judgment, Akure Division, given on the 10th of February, 2025.”
