The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has mobilised thugs in various parts of the state in readiness for the Saturday, July 16, 2022, gubernatorial election.

The Osun PDP also revealed that the information it allegedly received indicated that the influx of the armed men and women was intended to violently disrupt the peaceful conduct of the poll.

In a press statement signed by Akindele Adekunle, the Osun PDP Chairman, Caretaker Transition Committee and made available to Naijacrawl on Monday, he disclosed that the thugs imported from Lagos were already lodged in various hotels in the state, including another very close to the Governor’s office in Abere.

According to the statement, “We have reports that such daredevil hands have been deployed to various zones, including Iwo zone, where a PDP party agent was shot at and Osogbo axis, where the residence of the governorship candidate of the Labour Party was attacked."
