The South West Leader of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Alhaji Adebisi AbdulRasheed Olopoeyan has advised Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde to stop believing the 2023 governorship election in the state could be won through thuggery.
He said, governor Makinde’s plan is to use Oyo state Park Management System ( PMS ) workers with supervision of Mr. Mukaila Lamidi AKA Auxillary to unleash terror on voters with the aim to divert their attention from election process which will allow them to snatch Ballot boxes during the forthcoming election.
He reminded the governor that the electoral act amendment has rendered thuggery useless in election victory, as results will be transmitted electronically from polling Unit.
The Oyo NNPP chieftain made the advise to governor Makinde while reacting to the alleged destruction of bill boards belonging to his party and the gubernatorial aspirant of the party, Engineer Popoola Olukayode Joshua popularly known as POJ by members of PMS led by Auxiliary.
He stressed that, the same people also attacked his house few days ago, shortly after he and his supporters officially joined NNPP from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Olopoeyan alleged that the attack is being sponsored by the Governor of the state, Engineer Seyi Makinde as a result of love lost between them due to political differences.
Olopoeyan said governor Makinde is governing Oyo state in an unfair and cruel way because he is preventing opposition from having freedom of expression and association.
” Just imagine a whole siting governor using hoodlums to torment the opposition, all because he want to be reelected, governor Makinde never believed in his achievements to win 2023 election from him, all his plans is to use his PMS workers with control of Mukaila Axillary to unleash terror on opposition and snatch Ballot boxes as many as possible during elections.
” To me, governor Makinde and his political shallow thinkers needs to form a new strategy, if thew want to compete and win 2023 elections in the state, their aim to use Axillary and his boys as agents of destruction before and during the elections, but this will not yield any result, if late Ajimobi of blessed memory destroyed PDP and governor Makinde’s bill boards and used thugs to snatch Ballot boxes during the election in 2019, woild he came victorious ?, Olopoeyan asked.
“To me, if truely governor Seyi Makinde and his PDP are so desperate to win all elections in his, it is better for his to pick the head of his security team, Lamidi Auxiliary as his running mate.
“Governor Seyi Makinde is just wasting his time breeding thuggery, election wining has gone beyond such believe, electorate are wiser now, had it been that what we adopted for him in 2019, he wouldn’t have won the election, but if using thugs is what he beleives this time, then using Auxillary as his Deputy is a good idea for, because as a candidate he will have opportunity to display his hooliganism.
“But, am assuring Mukaila Auxiliary that, his days of evil activities are numbered because his atrocities have pilled up and will soon go to where governor will not be able to rescue him,” Olopoeyan concluded.
