Prince Tosin Odeyemi, the Osun State chairman of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has called on the elders in Osun State to shun party politics and wade into the ongoing crisis in All Progressives Congress (APC), AMILOADED reports.
It would be recalled that some hoodlums, on Thursday evening, attacked Oranmiyan House, a building belonging to former governor of Osun State and Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
It was gathered that since the attack, the Osun Progressives (TOP) and the state government have been trading blame, prompting the government to charge the police boss in the state to fish out the perpetrators in no distance time.
Reacting, Odeyemi, while considering the effects of the “incessant power play” between the loyalists of Governor Oyetola and Aregbesola, urged the elders in the state to wade in.
Opeyemi, who is also the IPAC secretary in Osun State, noted that just within a week, three chaos were reported in the state. First at Ikirun, also in Ijebu-jesa before the recent one in Osogbo.
According to him, “Where two elephants fight, grass suffers. So as to avoid unnecessary panic and loss of innocent lives in the state, the crisis must be nip on the bud.
“This is becoming unbearable, elders in Osun; irrespective of their parties, should rise to this occasion. Election is still five months away, why creating unnecessary panic for people?
“If truly their party has the love of people at heart, both sides must sheath their swords now. They should call themselves together and settle whatever grievances they have against one another, they should not turn Osun into a theater of war.
“As for us in NNPP, we know that APC ruling days will soon be over in Osun, they should hand over power to our party in peace come July 16, 2022,” Odeyemi said.
