In his reaction, Senator Odunsi described the attack as politically motivated, urging the police to unravel the perpetrators of the act.

He said; “This morning, our Constituency office at Otta was attacked by some hoodlums. They disrupted office activities and injured the Secretary, Ms. Kemi Afolabi. The Administrative Officer, Mr Olasunkanmi Olayode managed to escape.

“Ms Afolabi is still receiving treatment in a private hospital in Otta. We are inclined to believe that the attack is politically motivated. The spate of violence visited on the National Assembly members of the All Progressives Congress across the State in recent time attests to the desperation of some elements to intimidate people into undue acquiescence.

“Only yesterday, a band of brigands went to disrupt the Otta Ward 1 meeting of the Party. They were kept in check by members. It is our desire that common sense will prevail and those inordinately ambitious to lead the people will recant in no distance future.

“ We deplore this barbaric descent to violence for political reasons. Ours is a progressive party and the ideology eschews bitterness, violence and criminality. The liberal political space is wide enough to accommodate ideas and free speech to market candidates. We enjoin those whose stock in trade is do or die to perish the thought of cowing people. In this age of reason, it will not work.

“We hereby implore members of the APC, the good people of Otta and  Ogun West to go about their normal duties and maintain calm. We remain resolute that the will of the people shall prevail.  Our people must resist attempt to provoke them into taking laws into their hands.

“ We stand by our resolve to make progress in an atmosphere of peace and mutual respect for the feelings of our compatriots.The Police and security people have been alerted about this strange development in our peace loving and hospitable community”.
