Osun PDP Tackles Ganduje Over Comment To Take Over Southwest

The Chairman of the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Sunday Bisi, has tackled the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, over his inciteful comment that his Party has perfected strategies to takeover the Southwest region. The Southwest Region includes both Oyo and Osun States that are currently governed by the APC.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that Ganduje while speaking at a political gathering in Ondo State, had claimed his party had a strategy to “capture” the entire Southwest.

But the PDP chairman who frown at Ganduje’s comment said that such utterances could inflame public sentiment, and might destabilise the country.

Heemphasised that the people of Osun would decide who governs them when the time comes.

Describing Ganduje’s comments as a “reckless attempt to plunge the Southwest into unnecessary political turmoil,” Bisi warned that Nigeria, already grappling with ethnic tensions and economic challenges, should not be further provoked.

Bisi added that, “For a man who couldn’t rescue his home state for the APC, due to his disastrous tenure as governor, to now threaten the Southwest with fire and brimstone is not only reckless but utterly irrational.

“While Mr President continues to tackle the country’s economic crisis, Mr Ganduje should be cautious not to exacerbate the situation by attempting to rig elections, especially in the Southwest. Doing so would be akin to stepping on the tail of a dangerous cobra.

“If Mallam Ganduje failed, as he did, to incite unrest in Kano, where the APC was rejected due to his harrowing administration, he should be prepared to accept similar outcomes in other states where the APC has failed the electorate.

“In Osun, we are accustomed to such irresponsible remarks, which only led to a more disastrous result for Ganduje’s party in the 2022 governorship election.”
