Osun State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against stoking negative passions about the current administration that could lead to anarchy.
The party in a statement issued and signed by its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, warned that the lies being peddled against the current administration were capable of destablising the state.
“The All Progressives Congress in the State of Osun wishes to warn that the PDP is gravitating towards creating anarchy in the community through a wickedly relentless propagation of lies, capable of destabilising the state.
The party officially reacting to the report that the Osun tribunal panel has ordered recounting of votes in August 9, 2014 governorship election and more valid votes attributed to PDP and its candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore, said the PDP attempted to install itself in power after it had woefully failed to win the August 9 election.
The party said that the action was a close call to anarchy and a criminal action, which should be addressed by law-enforcement agencies in Osun.
“Only six local governments have had their election documents inspected, and no strange ballot paper has been found.
“The PDP in its petition filed at the Tribunal, did not ask for a recount of the ballot, and it (Tribunal) could not have ordered a recount. So that piece of information was a deliberate falsehood. No hearing has taken place; the judges have made no pronouncement whatsoever on a recounting of votes,” it stated.
The APC therefore appealed to all media organisations following the Osun Election Petition Tribunal case to carefully cross-check and confirm the truth or otherwise of any story, press release or privileged information they may receive from the PDP in Osun, before publishing same for public consumption.
The APC also urged citizens of the state never again to be agitated whenever similar falsehood of the PDP slips into the media
