*We don’t need fake policemen — Osun APC

BY DAPO AKINREFON

THE Omisore Campaign Organisation has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC administration in the state, of planning to arm cadets of the OYES scheme as fake policemen to be deployed in rigging the election.

The allegation was immediately dismissed by the APC as a cock and bull story.
The Omisore campaign in a statement issued by its Director of Media and strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi claimed that information available to it has it that the “remaining cadets of OYES scheme have already been arranged and designated into units and will be kitted in police uniforms to aid the fraud being planned by APC.”

It  maintained that contrary to the Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, between INEC and NYSC that only participants of the NYSC scheme would be deployed for electoral duties, that OYES members are being recruited to help the APC rig the election.

It  further alleged that all moves by the APC  lately are pointers to its desperation to avert “impending defeat”, just as it queried the seeming nonchalant posture of the security agencies in the state to numerous security breaches that have strong links to the administration in the state.

It said ?it  was “not only unthinkable but quite bizarre that the APC would be desperate to link PDP to a shoddy work done on all the mega schools.

“As responsible Osun indigenes and a party that wants the best for the state, we sympathise with those that were injured by the collapsed structure and thank God for keeping innocent souls off the tragedy that was created by Ogbeni Aregbesola at the twilight of his administration.”

But in its reaction, the Osun State APC dismissed the claim saying there is no iota of truth.
Its  Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr Kunle Oyatomi,who spoke with Vanguard, said “if they are truthful to themselves, let them tell you and take the security agencies to the spot where the so called policemen are being trained.

We don’t need fake policemen, we only need people to beat Omisore silly. We make bold to say that we have more than enough army of people committed and dedicated to go to the 3010 polling units in the state and thumb print the broom symbol of APC. No force can stop Aregbesola because he is ordained to win again.”
