The party made this known in a statement from its Chairman, Sunday Bisi who maintained that Egbetokun deliberately deployed Special forces to escort miscreants into the local government councils in the State.
“Mr Egbetokun’s deliberate deployment of Special Forces under him to escort some miscreants into the local government councils in the state was nothing but a blatant coup and obviously, one out of the many mapped-out plans to assassinate the Governor of our dear State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, whose instruction to restore peace and order as the Chief Security Officer of Osun State, was flagrantly violated by Mr Egbetokun,” the statement reads.
The party also asserted that the move is one of the plans to assassinate the incumbent Governor, Ademola Adeleke who has called for peace and order as the number one citizen of the State.
Speaking on behalf of the party, Bisi emphasized that the IGP has not only betrayed the Governor who had called for peace but also set dangerous routes for troublemakers to carry out deadly acts, saying the state has lost not less than 10 lives since the beginning of the week.
” The motive of security reinforcement if required and as discussed with Egbetokun by His Excellency, the Governor, has not only been betrayed by Mr Egbetokun, but has also set dangerous routes for trouble makers to carry out their dastardly acts even when the state has just lost almost 10 of our sons and daughters to violent confrontations in less than 48hours ago,” he said.
He however commended the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, for towing the path of law in the preparation for the upcoming local government election in the State, stressing that the February 22, 2025, election will have to be held without fail.
