Frank To Tinubu: Call Oyetola, APC Thugs To Order In Osun

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Tuesday, appealed to President Bola Tinubu to call the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, and his APC thugs to order in Osun State.

Frank, in a statement in Abuja, said the call has become necessary to restore peace in Osun State following clashes between APC and PDP faithful in the state over the control of local government area councils in which lives have been lost.

Violence erupted on Monday in Osun State as the battle for the control of the local government secretariats between the PDP and the APC turned bloody.

A Court of Appeal judgement was interpreted differently by the APC and the PDP.

Adeleke and Oyetola, who is immediate-past governor of the State, strongly disagreed over the alleged reinstatement verdict of the Court of Appeal.

Governor Adeleke had insisted that the sacked local government council chairmen cannot return to office, citing security reasons.

However, Oyetola said the Appeal Court judgement would be implemented through the instruments of law.

He added that the council executives should resume on Monday.

Frank said: “Intelligence at our disposal has revealed that the present strategy and plan by Oyetola is to make the state ungovernable for Governor Ademola Adeleke, so they can hide under the guise of crisis in the state to declare a state of emergency in Osun State.”
