“I am aware of internal crisis that occured within PDP after the visit of their presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to Ile-Ife which led to the tearing of their billboards and posters. They should limit whatever intra-party crisis they have within their party and not to transfer their aggression to the good people of Ile-Ife.
“We want peace and I am appealing to everyone either in APC, PDP or LP to allow peace to reign supreme and it is in an atmosphere of peace that we can have development and progress.
“As a law abiding citizen, we have submitted petition to law enforcement agencies in the state and to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi with a view to allow peace to reign. I believe the security agencies will take steps to restore peace”.
