Osun 2022: You are no Threat to my Reelection – Oyetola Fires at Lasun

By Kabir Akintayo

Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun has described as “fallacy of insufficient statistics,” the allegation of attack on the residence of the immediate past Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Lasun Yusuf.

The governor, according to his spokesman, Ismail Omipidan, said Yusuf who is the governorship candidate of Labour Party does not in any way pose a threat to his victory in the July 16 governorship election in the State.

Oyetola’s reaction followed the allegation of attack on the residence of the erstwhile lawmaker who claimed that unknown gunmen unleashed terror on his private residence at wee hours.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, the Governor’s spokesman argued that “if indeed there was an attack on the residence of the former legislator, why on earth was the attack not repelled by the security operatives attached to him and his abode?”

According to him, the Labour Party candidate was just trying to build something on nothing. He said the claim is a political gimmick that cannot in any way hold water in the face of reality.

Omipidan challenged the erstwhile lawmaker to prove his allegation against the person and government of Oyetola, saying no amount of propaganda can stop the moving train of Governor Oyetola from coasting to victory come July 16 governorship election in the State.

“The gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party, Hon. Lasun Yusuf, alleged that some gunmen whom he suspected to be the supporters of our Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, the governorship candidate of our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, attacked his residence.

“The first question that came to mind was, “Where were his security details when the incident happened,” Omipidan asked.
