Fayose and Omisore Planning To Assasinate Aregbesola – APC

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has alleged that it has received a intelligence reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has contracted Israeli snipers to assassinate Governor Rauf Aregbesola during his campaign trail.

APC made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo on Tuesday and signed by the party’s director of publicity, research and strategy, Barr. Kunle Oyatomi. The party gave the name of the leader of the snipers as simply Francis.
According to him, the masterminds behind the plot are Mr Ayodele Fayose, the governor-elect of Ekiti State and Senator Iyiola Omisore, the PDP candidate for the August 9 governorship election in the state.
“Sources from within the PDP informed the APC that there is great consternation within the party that for as long as Aregbesola is present and visible, there is no way the PDP can rig the election; so their last option to win, according to the sources is to take out the governor completely. And they needed the best professional killers in the world; this is why they have contracted Israelis”.
“It is not clear if Abuja was involved in the plot, but sources say that the security infrastructure in the country may not be unconnected”.
Reacting to the allegation, the director of publicity and strategy, Omisore Campaign Organisation, Prince Diran Odeyemi dismissed the alarm stating that there is no truth in the allegations and that PDP has no killer squad.
He claimed that APC is only trying to accuse others of what it intends to do, saying the party has consistently preached violence at its rallies.
However, the APC said it has alerted Nigerians and the international community of PDP’s plans to militarise the state one week to the election and terrorise APC leadership as well as assassinate some of them.
“We also alerted the nation that the PDP has brought into Osun, fake police and army uniforms, which their thugs will use to terrorise voters at polling units and possibly snatch ballot boxes”.
The APC therefore warned the Israeli embassy to place close check on its citizens in Nigeria who may have been contracted by the PDP, so as to nip the evil in the bud before Israel get itself negatively involved in an explosive situation in Nigeria that could affect relationship between the two countries.
It also called on elders within the country not to fold their arms and watch the PDP set Nigeria ablaze, because that is what assassination of Rauf Aregbesola will instantly cause, APC maintained.
