Ahead of the adoption of the addresses by the affected parties in the Osun State governorship tussle at the Supreme Court in Abuja, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State has received an intelligence of an orchestrated plan by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to heat up the polity in Osun and simultaneously create tension in Abuja.
The Osun APC reliably gathered that the state chapter of the PDP had perfected an arrangement to hire fifty 18-seater buses to convey political hoodlums to Abuja to besiege the Supreme Court in order to give a false impression of the acceptability and popularity of the embattled Governor Ademola Adeleke in the state.
Information has it that material and financial logistics to aid the shady and obnoxious assignment have been deployed to those who are involved.
It was also learnt that each of the local government chapters of the PDP in the state have also been tasked by the leadership of the party in the state to engage in show-of-strength protest across Osun while those in Abuja will be creating needless scenes of shame at the Supreme Court.
The State Acting Chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party's Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo today, said the leaked plan of the PDP was ridiculous, primitive, condemnable, tactless and undiplomatic.
Lawal stated that there could not be any other name for this uncovered obnoxious plans of the PDP than organized intimidation of the judiciary which should never be condoned by any sane mind.
He, therefore, enjoined the Osun Commissioner of Police and the heads of other statutory security agencies in the state to quickly investigate the unsavoury development with a view to arresting, investigating and prosecuting those whose stock in trade is to disrupt the socio-political peace in the state.
The acting chairman of the APC, Lawal stated: "Why would a group of people in the name of politics be intimidating the judiciary with a rented crowd in order to create a false impression.
"Governance should not be by hook and crook means. Once you have filed your court processes in the Supreme Court, why creating tension in Osun State and Abuja again?
"There is no way that this posture of the Osun PDP would not have a boomerang effect. It is a shame.
"In a similar vein, a young man suspected to be a commissioned PDP agent was sighted having a spiritual birth in the daylight to the consternation of the right-thinking members of the society in front of the state secretariat of our party in Osogbo, on Wednesday.
"The PDP handlers have missed it again as no game would confer any advantage on their party and candidate as justice has nothing to do with sentiments or emotions but points of law," Lawal cautioned.
