The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has described the jubilation by some supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state after the adoption of written addresses at the Election Petitions Tribunal as a threat to the security of the state.

Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the APC in Osun State, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said this at a press conference in Osogbo, the state capital, on Sunday.

He said that the PDP stage-managed the jubilation that its governorship candidate, Iyiola Omisore, had been declared winner of the August 9, 2014 election in order to give their supporters false hope and to lay the foundation for complaints and chaos after the tribunals judgment.

He asked the security agencies in the state to be on the alert in order to prevent any breakdown of law and order, which could plunge the state into anarchy.

Omisore had dragged Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the APC to the tribunal, asking the court to sack the governor and declare him (Omisore) winner of the poll.

The APC spokesperson said that Argbesola did not admit that he scored less that the number of votes credited to him by the Independent National Electoral Commission as Omisores counsel said at the tribunal.

He explained that the table prepared in Aregbesolas final address stated that if the results from the disputed polling units were cancelled, he would still have won with 234,791 lawful votes as against Omisores 219,189 votes.

Oyatomi said, So it was baffling what sort of brain wave could have incited supporters and leaders of the PDP into the streets, jubilating that Omisore had won his petition at the tribunal.

The APC is not disturbed by the fallacies of the PDP, but when these lies threaten the peace as they did during the silly jubilation of the PDP on the streets of Osogbo and elsewhere, it becomes a security threat which must be nipped in the bud.

This is why we want to alert the public to be on their guard always, not to allow the PDP create mayhem by spreading falsehood, capable of disturbing the peace.

The All Progressives Congress Candidate for Ekiti Central senatorial district, Amb. Gbenga Olofin, has described the clampdown on opposition by Governor Ayodele Fayose, as a threat to the 2015 general elections.

In a press release made available to journalists on Sunday in Ado Ekiti, Olofin said the desperation of Fayose to rig in all his imposed candidates during the elections would be resisted by the people.

Four cabinet members in the administration of former Governor Kayode Fayemi were arrested on Friday by the Governments assets recovery task force for allegedly withholding government official cars.

Those arrested were Biodun Akin-Fasae, Ayodele Jinadu, Oluwole Ariyo and Dr Bayo Orire.

The Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, however, invited them to a meeting on that day where he explained that the Police had no hand in their arrest.

I only intervened by calling them for a meeting and advised them on the issue because, if not well handled, it could heat up the polity. All I want is an amicable settlement, Lakanu had told our correspondent.

The APC had described their arrest and forceful confiscation of their official cars over non-payment of the cost as a ploy by Fayose to take its leaders out of circulation ahead of February 14 general elections.

Olofin said it was worrisome that the governor was supervising attacks on innocent Ekiti People because of politics, tearing and destruction of posters and billboards across the state in a day light.

Everybody is now sleeping with one eye closed in the state because of the fear of the unknown and the security across the state has been deteriorating because the action of the governor has heated up the polity.

Olofin urged traditional rulers and the appropriate authority to call the Governor to order.

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, on Sunday denied a newspapers report (not the Punch) that he would subject the military and other arms of government to probes if elected president in the February 14 election.

Buhari made the clarification through a statement signed by Mr. Garba Shehu of the Directorate of Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Organisation.

The retired military general, however, said his administration would decisively deal with all cases of impunity and corruption, no matter who is involved.

The statement further reiterated Buharis stance that when elected into office in February, the era of impunity will be over for the rogues. But there is no time for engaging in probes or witch hunts.

It also quoted Buhari as saying that he was passionately concerned about the conditions of the armed forces at the moment.

Buhari, according to the statement lamented that despite huge budgetary allocations, the country have failed to effectively deal with security threats including the Boko Haram terrorism.

The statement reads in part, What he (Buhari) said at every given opportunity is that he is keenly interested in knowing what has gone wrong, if any, with the army that he knew. When he has access to them as Commander-in-Chief, he will like to hear from his commanders what are the problems they are dealing with so that they can be solved.

In a democracy such as ours, all institutions of government, including the armed forces, are accountable. No country can achieve results in its counter-terrorism efforts when there is no transparency in the management of huge resources for the purpose.

He (General Buhari) will reinvigorate the armed forces and restore their rapidly evaporating morale.
