The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sympathized with the expired Ondo State-born state caretaker committee chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), one Mr. Akindele Adekunle, over his inciting diatribes, jeremiads, harangues and invectives poured on the person of the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Acting Osun State chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued in Osogbo today, noted that it was unfortunate that Adekunle could descend so low with impunity to be using unprintable names on Asiwaju Tinubu all in the name of playing dirty politics.
Lawal stated that the Ondo State indigene who ideally should not be made a ward chairman of a party in a saner clime was surprisingly thrown up by the political schism that has been bedeviling his party has seen himself as an Alpha and Omega of the crisis-ridden Osun State PDP.
The state APC acting chairman said that it was beyond the comprehension of a reasonable human being that a party chairman who has blood running in his vein could be justifying the lingering currency redesign and fuel scarcity crises in the name of politics simply because he wanted Tinubu crucified for no just cause.
He hinted that the most annoying thing is that Adekunle in his statement headlined ‘Osun PDP Cautions Residents on Fighting Proxy War in APC’s Election Fever-induced Battle’, was arrogating to himself the qualities he doesn’t possess.
Lawal asked Adekunle who appointed him as the spokesman for Osun people after his ill-luck has led to the recent sack of the candidate of his party, the embattled Governor Ademola Adeleke, in the July 16, 2023 governorship election in the state.
The state APC chairman stated that it was a misplacement of priority on the part of the spent state PDP caretaker committee chairman to be taking on Tinubu when himself (Adeleke) and his cohorts are expected to be crossing their T’s and dotting their I’s in their appeal against the sack of their governorship candidate by the tribunal on January 27, 2023.
He stated further that the tone of the statement issued by the questionable and factional PDP chairman was an indication that Adekunle and his co-travellers in the state PDP are still bogged down by reasoning sedative fever caused by the withdrawal of the certificate of return from their interstice sacked Governor Adeleke by the tribunal.
Lawal made it known point-blank that Tinubu is a one-man battalion in political parlance who does not need anyone to fight for him either by proxy or by any other means.
He said it was a pity that someone who answers the designation of a party chairman in a complex state like Osun could be lending his support and justifying the national fuel and currency crises which were induced by the cabals working in cahoots with the PDP serial presidential candidate.
In his words: “The expired Osun PDP caretaker committee chairman, Mr. Adeleke Adekunle, should note that regardless of the weaponised fuel and currency crises orchestrated by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his gangsters wherever they may be, God Almighty will surely propel Tinubu’s presidential ambition to victory on February 25, 2023.
“It’s only a schizophrenic patient or a scallywag who would prefer someone who sold all things sellable under the guise of privatization when he was the Vice-President over a widely acclaimed father of modern Lagos, Asiwaju Tinubu, who has been building political bridges across the rivers Niger and Benue.
“It is worthy of recollecting that the privatization exercise which was statutorily directly under the Office of Atiku as Vice-President was the architect of the seemingly intractable unemployment scourge that has been rocking the nation today as all the government companies were sold to the cronies, families and friends of the Waziri Adamawa.
“My advice for the inexperienced and loquacious Osun State PDP caretaker committee chairman is that he should learn how not to engage in the diarrhea of the mouth and that playing of his political game should be limited to his equal”, Lawal submitted.
