The All Progressives Congress (APC) has vowed to unseat  Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and stop his second term ambition in the 2023 general elections, boasting that nothing can save Makinde and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from defeat in 2023.

The APC State Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, in a statement on Tuesday in Ibadan, raised alarm that the PDP masterminded the spread of fake news from a fictitious APC stakeholder in the state, Alhaji Bashir Adeola, who was reported to have condemned the APC in Oyo State.

The APC State Publicity Secretary insisted that the report was fake news, and that Bashir Adeola was a fictitious name.

Sadare, then, declared that no amount of such sponsored fake news and  unsubstantiated claims against APC would stop Makinde and PDP from imminent sack in the forthcoming general elections.

The SPS, accordingly,  declared: “We have painstakingly checked our party membership register and found no member by the name Bashiru Adeola.

“We, then wonder where the PDP media got the ghost to speak with them as a chieftain of Oyo APC.

“Some funny characters around the governor felt that “this was the best way to mitigate the effects of political affliction befalling their administration and party every day”.

Sadare stated that PDP felt it was an unhealthy development to keep losing its members and supporters to the opposition. He said that Makinde has nobody to blame for the development, saying he cannot eat his cake and have it.

According to Sadare, “A governor who neither does well with governance, nor runs an all-inclusive government cannot have the trust of serious politicians and voters.

“They just package their usual lies and put fictitious names as the source whereas the so-called Bashir Adeola was without a known Ward, Local Government Area or traceable residence or office address.

“They came up with the latest spurious story aimed at discrediting APC in an attempt to water down the adverse effect of Hon. Olusegun Olaleye’s defection to the APC.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we do not have any member or chieftain who bears the name mentioned and it is safe to say that the story was sponsored by the PDP to mislead the public.

“We are focussed on our electioneering campaigns as a serious political party whose candidates have all it takes to win the forthcoming elections in the state.”

Sadare told voters in Oyo State to disregard the fake news being churned out to create soft landing for Makinde, who had already lost his re-election bid before the day of the poll.
