The members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Odo-Otin Local Government of Osun State, on Sunday, protested against the harassment of the ex-governor of the state, Prince Olagubsoye Oyinlola, by a faction of the party.
The protesters from all the fifteen wards in Odo-Otin converged on the home town of Oyinlola in Okuku and carried placards of various inscriptions such as “PDP Is Bigger Than Individual or Family”, “PDP Odo-Otin Say No To Impunity And Arrogance of Adeleke’s Family”, among others.
The PDP members called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, to investigate the attack and make sure that the perpetrators are brought to book.
One of the protesters, who spoke to newsmen, condemned the harassment of Oyinlola, alleging that PDP would be destroyed by some elements if necessary step was not taken.
He accused Senator Ademola Adeleke of masterminding the attack, saying, “By the time he (Oyinlola) was about to drive into the hotel, a faction of the PDP led by Adeleke sponsored an attack on him.
“If not the security agents if not because of quick intervention of security agents, only God knows what would have happened.
Oyinlola is a person that has respect for elders, that is why they asked us to allow peace. Nobody has a monopoly of violence.
The National Working Committee must be unbiased. Our elders must be respected. Senator Ayu should not follow the step of the disgraced Secondus,” he warned.
