Oyo 2027: Senator Alli raises alarm over alleged killing of APC member in Ibadan

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Senator Sarafadeen Alli, on Saturday, raised the alarm over the alleged murder of a member of the party by suspected political thugs.

In a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity, Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organization (SSACO), Prince Bisi Oladele, said Makinde and Adekanmbi’s APM have adopted bloodshed as their new method of campaigning.

The APC governorship candidate noted that anyone’s political ambition is not worth the life of any individual living in any part of Oyo State.

“Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organization (SSACO) was struck by horror when an APC member in Ward 6, Ibadan South West Local Government, Ridwan, popularly known by the nickname Paul Moor, was hacked to death by suspected APM hoodlums on Friday.

The young man was brutally murdered for switching from APM to APC, just 24 hours before his 35th birthday.

“This is the latest in a series of attacks against opposition figures over the past two weeks

“Senator Alli’s wife, Alhaja Tawakalit Alli, was attacked during a free and peaceful health program organized by her last week. The APC candidate for Ibadan North West/South West Federal Constituency, Hon. Folake Olunloyo-Oshinowo, was also attacked during a peaceful campaign on the same day,” it read.

The statement further said that “the campaign train of Honorable Remi Oseni, the APC candidate for Oyo South Senatorial District, was also attacked on the same day.

“These ugly attacks and killings of opposition members in Oyo State are undemocratic, senseless and unacceptable.”

“The rights of Nigerians to freedom of association and speech are guaranteed in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and remain sacred. Governor Makinde and Hon Adekanmbi must always remember this fact. The State must not descend to bloodshed as per their directive.”
