The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has slammed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over the allegation that APC members masterminded the killing of Mudashiru Baraka in Oyo town.
The APC in a statement by the State Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, declared that the Oyo APC condemned the ruling party’s penchant for playing politics with issues relating to security of lives and properties in the state.
According to the APC, “Oyo town is not a recluse as it is populated by good people who lived in peace and tranquillity until the present PDP administration of Governor Seyi Makinde came with its mission of domestic terrorism.
“For the avoidance of doubt, some leaders of our great party (APC) were in Oyo town to welcome some defectors from the PDP, Accord and other parties. The ceremony went well and everybody present including some of our candidates and leaders as well as party supporters enjoyed the atmosphere which was devoid of violence or tension.
“We do not know of any violent attack recorded in Oyo town and as such, we urge the State Police Command to investigate the allegation with a view to establishing the fact and punishing the culprits particularly those making false allegations against our Party.”
