Osogbo South Impeachment Saga: Oyetola wades into crisis, make a powerful statement

Sequel to the lingering political schism that has pervaded the Osogbo South Local Council Development Area over the rift between the council chairman and the councillors, the State of Osun Governor Gboyega Oyetola has warned the political warlords to maintain absolute peace and stop any act capable of causing political tension in the affected area.

This was contained in a statement  by the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Gboyega Famodun, in Osogbo, the Osun State capital today.

According to the statement issued by the Media Consultant to the party chairman, Kola Olabisi, it was the instruction of the governor that the feuding parties in the local government should sheath their swords and maintain the staus quo until he comes back to the country soonest.

It was also contained in the executive intervention that all the warring political combatants should do everything within their power not to engage in any activity that could make the situation to fester.

It was also part of the governor’s directive that all the political apologists of the disagreeing parties should also desist from any act that is capable of rocking the existing peace and tranquillity in the local government in the interest of the constituents.

Famodun also hinted that the governor who was not at ease with the development has also ordered that no member of the feuding parties or their agents or their supporters must issue any press statement or grant an interview in any media of mass communication concerning the issue for now.

According to Famodun:  “The kernel of the directive of Mr Governor is that the warring parties should hold their peace in order to douse the tension till his arrival.

“Any contrary act against the directive of Governor Oyetola in this regard is qualified for anti-party activity which the party leadership would visit with the required party’s constitutional sanction”, he warned.

The state party chairman stated that it is his belief that any member or leader of the party who believes in its supremacy will not do anything to negatively impact the party.
