Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola has yesterday
replied to Vice President Sambo rallying call that PDP can
win the state back, describing the remark as "mere wishful
thinking".
Aregbesola and Omisore
The All Progressives Congress, APC candidate for the August
9 governorship election said that the Sambo disrespected
the judgment of the Election Petition Appeal Tribunal by
describing their ruling as "through the back door."
The vice president had told reporters before their important
PDP National Campaign Committee meeting that
Aregbesola had come in power though the back door and
also said that come August 9th, his party would get back
the team.
Mr. Aregebsola gave his statement through his Director,
Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Semiu Okanlawon,
and said that Sambo might be mistaken as Osun state
citizens have for some time now given up on PDP.
The statement continued and ridiculed Sambo's quotes as
quotes of a party full of delusion and deceit.
It read: "Sambo's statement did not come to us as a
surprise. It is the character of the PDP and its leadership to
live in a different world far away from the stark realities
that daily confront our people" .
"For the umpteenth time, we wish to remind Sambo and the
entire PDP structure and its candidate for the Osun August 9
poll that Osun has remained different for so many reasons
and this is why the macabre dance PDP and its agents of
electoral fraud organised in Ekiti cannot be replayed here in
Osun.
"Has Sambo forgotten so soon that while PDP reaped from
its electoral fraud in all parts of Nigeria in the 2011
election, it was only in Osun that PDP recorded its most
humiliating defeat. In case Sambo has not thought about
this that was less than six months of the Aregbesola
administration when not much had been put on ground in
form of sterling performance and massive transformation of
Osun."
The statement then went ahead and praised the governor's
perfomance saying that in the last three years, Osun state
citizens had witnessed unprecedented development, Peace
and more financial growth.
They also asked Sambo and PDP to apologize to the nation
and especially the people of Osun state for the way they
stole Aregbesola's mandate in 2007.
It stated, "In some saner climes, PDP and its leaders ought
to apologise to the entire country and the people of Osun in
particular for the trauma they were subjected due to the
robbery of the Aregbesola's mandate. "But the culture of
impunity which PDP promotes won't give room for such
decency. It must however be noted that never will our
people embrace the rule of terror and clueless which PDP
represents."
Governor Aregbesola was elected into office after a tribunal
judged the 2007 election as fraud and awarded him the
position of governor replacing then incumbant Oyinlola.
Aregbesola began his stay in office in 2014 and is going for
re-election against PDP's candidate, Iyiola Omisore.
PDP's Fayose led team just won the governorship election in
Ekiti and are now aiming to capture one more yoruba state
in Osun ahead of the crucial 2015 General elections.
