APC Gives Makinde, PDP Redcard In Oyo State
All Progressives Congress (APC) Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, has said that no amount of sponsored fake news against APC would stop Governor Seyi Makinde and PDP from imminent sack in the forthcoming general elections.
Sadare, claimed in an Ibadan statement on Tuesday that the PDP was behind the circulation of fake news reportedly released by Alhaji Bashir Adeola, an APC Chieftain in the state.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the APC was reacting to a news report that claimed Adeola, a spoke in condemnation of his party to favour the PDP.
The APC spokeswoman denied the reported news as false, claiming that the name, Bashir Adeola, was made up.
According to him, the report was the handiwork of some desperados in power who had been overwhelmed by the political fireworks of Oyo APC as demonstrated in the last few months.
“We have painstakingly checked our party membership register and found no member by the name Bashiru Adeola.

“We, then wonder where the PDP media got the ghost to speak with them as a chieftain of Oyo APC,” he said.
Sadare said that no amount of such sponsored fake news as well as unsubtantiated claims against the opposition would stop Makinde and PDP from imminent sack in the forthcoming general elections.
He said that some funny characters around the governor felt that “this was the best way to mitigate the effects of political affliction befalling their administration and party every day”.
Sadare said that the PDP felt it was an unhealthy development to keep losing its members and supporters to the opposition.
He said that Makinde has nobody to blame for the development, adding he could not eat his cake and have it.
“A governor who neither does well with governance, nor runs an all-inclusive government cannot have the trust of serious politicians and voters.
“They just package their usual lies and put fictitious names as the source whereas the so-called Bashir Adeola was without a known Ward, Local Government Area or traceable residence or office address.
“They came up with the latest spurious story aimed at discrediting APC in an attempt to water down the adverse effect of Hon. Olusegun Olaleye’s defection to the APC,” he said.
The APC spokesperson said that Olaleye had only retraced his step as he returned to the progressive fold few days after hundreds of PDP leaders and members left the party for APC in Oyo Federal Constituency.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we do not have any member or chieftain who bears the name mentioned and it is safe to say that the story was sponsored by the PDP to mislead the public.
“We are focussed on our electioneering campaigns as a serious political party whose candidates have all it takes to win the forthcoming elections in the state,” he said.
Sadare urged the electorate to disregard the myriad of fake news being churned out to create a soft landing for Makinde, who had already lost his reelection bid before the day of the poll.(NAN)
