PDP alleges fresh APC’s plot to smear Sen Adeleke

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged what it said is a fresh plot by leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to discredit and smear Osun State Governor-Elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The main opposition party said in a statement in Abuja on Saturday that the ruling party leaders are now weaving a new set of fabrications and allegations against the court-declared winner of the last Osun State gubernatorial election.

Signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary, the statement observed that having failed in their project to brand Senator Adeleke’s School Certificate as fake, APC leaders, including those operating from Lagos state, are now knitting a very ludicrous allegation that the  School Testimonial of the Osun Governor-Elect was forged, with a view to smearing his image in the eyes of the unsuspecting public.

It informed that the PDP already has information on how the APC used a former commissioner in the state to reach out to certain top security officers to use the fabrications to arrest and embarrass Senator Adeleke and the Principal of his School, Ede Muslim High School, Ede, Mr Kadili Adejare Abass.

It added: “Our party has also been fully informed of how huge sums of money has been forwarded as a bribe to the compromised security agents to arraign and humiliate Senator Adeleke and Mr Adejare Abass on fabricated charges, even when they know they cannot prove any case.

“The PDP has the intelligence of attempts by agents of the APC to hack into the school files to mutilate relevant academic documents, just to get at Senator Adeleke, not minding the harm such would cause other students of the school.

“Such wickedness can only come from deprived and decadent individuals who are desperate to subvert the will of the people at all costs.”

The PDP, however, counselled the APC to accept its defeat in the Osun Governorship election and desist from acts of mischief against Senator Adeleke as such will all come to nought.

The party also charged Nigerians, particularly the people of Osun, to continue to be at alert in resisting the noxious schemes of the APC against their will as a people.
